The Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech (,, stylized mYSLm) is a museum dedicated to the fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent located in Marrakesh, Morocco.
History
Two museums have been established to display the works of Yves Saint Laurent and the collection of the Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent Foundation: one in Marrakesh and the other at the historic headquarters of the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house in Paris.[1] According to Pierre Bergé, the designer's business partner and onetime life partner, "it was natural to build a museum dedicated to the work of Yves Saint Laurent in Morocco, as he—even in the colors and the forms of his clothing—owes so much to the country."[2] The opening of both museums was organized in 2017.[2]
The museum in Marrakesh was notably financed by an auction of Moroccan works of art, held in the city by Pierre Bergé September 2015.
