Jardin Majorelle Marrakech *in Explore*

Le jardin Majorelle est un jardin botanique touristique d'environ 300 espèces à Marrakech au Maroc et un musée de la culture berbère. Il porte le nom de son fondateur, l'artiste peintre français Jacques Majorelle (1886-1962), qui l'a créé en 1931 en s'inspirant du type de jardin islamique.

 

The Majorelle Garden is a twelve-acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. An archaeological museum, it contains the Islamic Art Museum of Marrakech. The edifice was designed by the expatriate French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s, during the colonial period when Morocco was a protectorate of France.
