Why go
Contemporary art is not what most visitors come to Marrakech for, so the galleries of Gueliz stay quiet.
On Rue de Yougoslavie, the gallery shows abstract and street-influenced work, often around calligraphy and geometry. It is free, small and a good entry into the city’s contemporary art scene.
Tips
- Check the current exhibition on the gallery’s social pages before going.
- Combine with the cafés of Gueliz and the Majorelle area.
