tips

• Avoid Wednesday – the gallery is closed, so plan your visit for any other day.
• Hours of operation – the museum opens at 10 AM and closes at 6:30 PM; the venue’s website also lists a nightly till 00 PM, but most visitors find the 6:30 PM slot easier to fit into a day tour.
• Skip the line – purchase your tickets online for 130 MAD (~€12) in advance; students and Moroccan residents receive a discount, and you’ll bypass the sometimes crowded ticket office.
• Walk to the garden – from the entrance you can stroll a few minutes to Jardin Majorelle; the cool shade of the garden is a welcome break from the Marrakech heat and offers complementary photo ops of the museum’s surroundings.
• Carry water and sunscreen – Marrakech can be blazing even in the early afternoon; stay hydrated while you admire the designer’s original studio and surrounding displays.
