Art Is Everywhere
You Look
Art is almost everywhere you look in Morocco's captivating old imperial city of Marrakech — from monumental historic sites to intimate contemporary galleries tucked within ancient riads. It is a city that breathes creativity in every layer of its existence.
Marrakech has become one of Africa's most important contemporary art hubs. Over the last decade it has established itself as an unavoidable scene on both regional and international levels, with new museums and galleries emerging every month.
We have curated the very best from this ever-growing list — to offer you an intimate close-up on African art in general, and on the singular Moroccan artistic voice in particular.
African pigments — ochre, terracotta, cobalt, and shadow — the palette of a continent's soul.
