Majorelle Gardens and Museum of Islamic Art
Majorelle Gardens and Museum of Islamic Art: In the 1920s the French artist Jacques Majorelle had it made, complete with pools, banana trees, coconut palms, and houses in a fantastic dark blue colour. The wonderful garden is alive with the sound of birds, its incredible cacti standing out in sharp contrast against the blue facade of the villa. The gardens have later been taken good care of by the French couturier Yves Saint-Laurent, who added a private museum of North African artefacts and a collection of Islamic art.
The museum and gardens are shut for lunch for a couple of hours (12-2). You cannot take any photographs inside the museum.
