Yves Saint Laurent

Today we visited two museums and a garden.
The Yves Saint Laurent Museum displays a timeline of the designer's career and accomplishments and exhibits some of his pieces and accessories.
Next to the museum is the Jardin Majorelle. Initially created by the artist Jaques Majorelle, but purchased and revived by YSL and Pierre Bergé after it had been abandoned years following the artist's death. The garden is a composition of palms, succulents, and bamboo, with ponds and planters of vivid hues.


Within this garden is another museum; this one dedicated to the Berber culture. It is located in the former painting studio of Jaques Majorelle. It contains over 600 Berber artifacts and the building itself is a vivid "Mojorelle" blue accent in the garden.


For our last dinner in Morocco, we went back into the Old Town and found a little hole in the wall (literally, sort of).


It was fabulous.
