Yves Saint Laurent Museum
Rue Yves St Laurent, Marrakech 40000
Earth-brick museum whose facade weaves terracotta blocks into a pattern echoing woven fabric.
This guide to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakesh follows the designer's lifelong bond with the city, from his first visit at thirty to the ashes scattered in the nearby Majorelle Garden after his death in 2008. You'll hear how the light and color of the souks reshaped his work, and how the Studio KO-designed building itself, opened in 2017, was conceived to echo the weave of fabric. Look closely at the brick facade as you walk in for the pattern the architects built into it.
