Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech
Contact and visiting information
Ask about directions, opening information and research access for the Yves Saint Laurent museum in Marrakech. We answer visit questions by email and point you to the official ticketing route for entry.
Before you travel
Hours change through the year, so confirm before you go
The museum publishes its own schedule, and it moves with the season and with exhibition changeovers. Before you set out, check the opening information on the official ticketing domain rather than an older listing. Tickets are issued there as QR-code entry and cover the museum, Jardin Majorelle and the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts as described on that domain — the museum's site names it as the only official website for access, so buy through it rather than a reseller.
Guide office hours
Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 – 18:00. Messages that arrive outside these hours are answered on the next working day.
Entry and tickets
We are an independent guide and cannot issue, hold or change entry tickets. Entry runs on QR-code tickets bought from the official ticketing domain.
What our address is not
The Melbourne office below belongs to this website, not to the museum. For anything that affects your entry, write to the museum instead.
Peak seasons
Around spring and the winter holidays the Jardin Majorelle area fills up early. If your dates are fixed, put them in your message and we will tell you what we know.
Finding the museum
Where the museum is
The museum's listed address is on Rue Yves Saint Laurent, and the street itself tells you something about the setting: it is named for the designer whose work the building holds, and it runs beside Jardin Majorelle in one of the most visited corners of Marrakech. That location places the Yves Saint Laurent museum inside a common sightseeing circuit — the garden, the museum and the Berber arts museum sit within a short walk of each other.
If you are navigating by landmark rather than by address, the garden is the simplest reference point. Taxi drivers and ride-hailing apps both recognize Jardin Majorelle, which is far easier than reading out a street name or spelling it over the phone. Once you are in the area, the entrance is a short walk from the garden gate, and the surrounding streets are one-way and busy enough that arriving on foot gives you more control over the order you visit in.

Arriving on foot
Getting there and moving through the circuit
Taxis and ride-hailing both recognize Jardin Majorelle as a landmark, which is easier than giving the street name. Once you are in the area, the museum, the garden and the Berber arts museum are within a short walk. On-foot arrival gives you more control over the order you visit in, and it lets you adjust if the garden queue is long when you arrive.
Research and library access
The museum keeps a research library, and access arrangements differ from ordinary admission. Library visits are usually arranged in advance rather than on arrival, and the museum sets its own conditions for who may consult what. Tell us what you are working on when you get in touch and we can explain what to check with the museum directly — the subject of your research, the material you need, and whether you need a reading room rather than a gallery.
If your enquiry is time-sensitive, include your dates. A message that says when you are in Marrakech, how long you can stay, and what you hope to read will get you a more useful answer than a general question about access. We will also tell you when the right person to write to is the museum rather than this guide, so you are not waiting on us for something we cannot arrange.
If your question touches accessibility, group visits or anything else that affects your day, describe the situation in the form. We cannot book tickets on your behalf. Anything that affects entry is handled on the official ticketing domain, and we will say so rather than guess at an answer.
Worth including
- Your travel dates and how long you can stay
- The subject or collection you want to consult
- Whether you need a reading room or general admission
- Any access or group requirement for your visit

This office belongs to Musee YSL Marrakech Guide, an independent editorial guide to the museum. It is not the museum's own office. For ticketing and opening hours, use the official ticketing domain.
Questions we get most often
Can you book tickets for me?
No. Musee YSL Marrakech Guide is an independent editorial guide, and we do not sell, hold or reserve entry. Tickets are QR-code based and issued on the official ticketing domain, which the museum describes as the only official website for access to the museum, Jardin Majorelle and the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts. Buy there rather than through a third party.
What are the opening hours today?
Hours change through the year, and we will not print a schedule that may already be out of date. The reliable move is to check opening information on the official ticketing domain on the day you plan to travel. If your question is about our own editorial office in Melbourne, that runs Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 – 18:00.
How do I get to the museum without a car?
Ask for Jardin Majorelle rather than the street name — taxis and ride-hailing apps know the garden. From the drop-off point the museum is a short walk, on the same circuit as the garden and the Berber arts museum. Walking the last stretch also lets you choose the order of your visit if a queue forms.
Can I use the research library during a normal visit?
Library access arrangements differ from general admission and are usually made in advance. Tell us your dates and what you want to consult, and we will explain what to check with the museum directly. If you only have one day in Marrakech, say so in your message — an arranged reading visit and an exhibition visit need different amounts of time.
What happens after I send a message?
We read it and reply by email, usually with a link to the relevant page on this guide or to the official source. If the answer depends on the museum's own schedule or ticketing rules, we will direct you there rather than estimate. Enquiries sent outside our office hours are picked up on the next working day. The thank-you page after submitting sets out what to have ready if you plan to write to the museum as well.
Keep planning your visit
If your question is about the building, the collections or the garden circuit, the guide already covers most of it. Start with the visit planning guide, then read up on the architecture and the spaces the museum holds.
