I. OVERVIEW

The Berber Museum, inaugurated in 2011, is housed in the former painting studio of the artistJacques Majorelle. It presents a panorama of the extraordinary creativity of the Imazighen (Berber)people, the oldest of North Africa. More than 600 objects from the Rif Mountains to the Sahara,collected by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent, attest to the richness and diversity of this vibrantculture, still very much alive today.

The collection is displayed in four distinct spaces, each devoted to a particular theme:

The "rst presents the history and geography of the Berber people – or Imazighen(Amazigh, sing.) – of Morocco, as well as a map showing the most signi"cant tribal regions.A comprehensive audiovisual documentation accompanies visitors throughout their tour ofthe museum.

The public is then invited to discover the tangible and intangible savoir-faire that turnsvarious base materials into mundane or ceremonial objects and utensils. The diversity ofhandmade cra#s is "nely expressed in woodwork, leatherwork, pottery, and basketry.

Ornaments, in turn, hold an important place in the museum. Cra#ed by outstanding, o#ennomadic jewellers, they are an expression of tribal identity and the social status of the womenwho wear them; a form of disposable savings, well suited to the economic uncertainties of arural society. The necklaces are designed by women who, in the style of their particularregions, combine amber, coral, and amazonite with silver elements – a profusion of materialsand symbolic forms – imbued with medicinal virtues.

Berber groups throughout Morocco, whether sedentary or nomadic, show a very de"nitetaste for !nery. Clothing, jewellery, and accessories re$ect their identity and form their ‘festiveapparel’, the variety of which is displayed during large social gatherings. The museum’s fourthand last exhibition space is thus entirely dedicated to costumes, as well as weapons, weavings,carpets, embellished residential doors, and musical instruments.

Every year, the Berber Museum organizes a symposium which explores contemporary issues relatedto Berber identity and heritage. Their proceedings, published as the Cahiers du Musée Berbère, arewidely disseminated to museums and international institutions. The programming of travellingexhibitions and the mobility of the museum’s collection are also part of this dynamic process,resulting in the exhibition, Berber Women of Morocco, presented in 2014 at the Fondation PierreBergé – Yves Saint Laurent in Paris. In 2015, it will travel to the National Museum of Bahrain inManama, and the Bibliothèque Nationale du Royaume du Maroc in Rabat.

THE BERBER MUSEUM

Since my arrival in Marrakech in 1966, I have remained fascinated by Berber art and culture.Over the years, I have collected and admired this art which extends over many countries at the sametime. The Berbers have always been rightly proud of their culture, and have not ceased to reclaim theiridentity in spite of the vicissitudes they have faced.

In Marrakech, in Berber country, in the Jardin Majorelle created by an artist who painted somany scenes of Berber men and women, the idea of this museum occurred to us quite naturally.

It is with great pride and pleasure that we open the museum to the public, so that they shareour enthusiasm and accompany us in the footsteps of a culture very much alive today.

1. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BERBER PEOPLE

The Imazighen (singular Amazigh) or Berbers, are among the original peoples of North Africa.Their myths, legends and history span 9,000 years, and can be traced to the Proto-Mediterraneans.They have achieved unity by maintaining their unique language and culture which are, like theirland, both African and Mediterranean.

The Berbers of Morocco share this duality, re$ecting the diversity of their nature and stormy history.%rough close contact with other peoples of the Mediterranean, they created kingdoms as well asvast territories organised into powerful, democratic, warmongering, tribal communities. Bothaspects of this sociopolitical organisation have le# a mark on recent historical events and thecountry’s history spanning two millennia.

As opposed to the pagan Mediterranean kingdoms of antiquity, Berber empires developed inlandand were Muslim. Judaism continued to be practiced, and the Sunni Islam majority gradually tookon a Berber hue with its brotherhoods, zaouias, marabouts and rituals.

7/31

The roots of Berber culture reach deep into Morocco’s protohistory. They are illustrated by a strong link with the land, a sense of community, hospitality, sharing food and a speci"c relationshipwith spirituality. Its openness to many in$uences, whether Mediterranean, African, Oriental,European, or International have helped de"ne its current characteristics.

The Berber language, an Afro-Asian idiom, is a historical and cultural melting pot of the country.It has outlived most languages of antiquity such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Phoenician and Egyptian.It used to be written but is now mainly oral. Although there are fewer now that can speak it, thelanguage is nevertheless still used by a substantial number of Moroccans. A true symbol of identity,the language crystallizes political demands and unleashes passions. The recent recognition of thecountry’s Berberity would seem to signify a will to preserve the language for future generations,including its ancient alphabet called Ti"nagh.

Principal places of origin of the exhibited objects

The map shows only the provenance in Morocco – either regions,places, or social groups – of the Berber Museum’s collection. TheBerber domain covers a vast crescent which extends from theMediterranean to the fringes of the desert, including the land towardsthe Sahara (beyond the Tekna), the Atlantic plains of Casablanca andRabat, the Fes-Saiss basin, and the Tingitana (Tangier) Peninsula. Inall these regions, place-name studies and the culture – both materialand immaterial – show evidence of a very real Berber in$uence.

The Berber language

In Morocco, the Berber language includes three major dialects: tari!t in the North, tamazight inthe Centre and Southeast, and tachelhit in the Southwest. In addition, there are many people whospeak Berber in the large urban areas such as Casablanca, Rabat, Fes and Tangier. Since the creationof the Royal Institute of the Amazigh Culture (IRCAM) in 2001, an attempt has been made tostandardize the Berber language, with a goal of raising the language’s visibility in contemporaryMorocco.

The custom of these women is to wear solid silver hoops or rings in their ears. Some of themwear up to four. To attach garments over their shoulders, they also use special rings in the form ofbuckles, which are so thick that they sometimes weigh up to an ounce. They also wear, around their!ngers and legs, special silver bands – but only the nobles and rich, because the poor, not having themeans to o"er themselves such heavy jewellery, wear only iron and copper.

V. THE JARDIN MAJORELLE

History

In 1919, during the French Protectorate, the French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886 – 1962) arrivedin the medina of Marrakech.

In 1922, he purchased a palm grove on the outskirts of the city, and seven years later built the Villa Bousafsaf, inspired by classical Moroccan architecture. In 1980, it was acquired by Yves SaintLaurent and Pierre Bergé, who renamed it the Villa Oasis.

In 1931, Majorelle commissioned the architect Paul Sinoir to build an artist’s studio in anastonishingly modern Art Deco style. The building included an apartment upstairs, and a ground$oor studio where he could paint large canvases.

The garden he planted around the studio re$ected his passion for botany. Designed around a long, central basin, he composed several di&erent ambiances with a luxurious vegetation thatbecame a refuge for hundreds of birds. The garden developed into a living work of art, embellishedby exotic and rare plant species that Majorelle would bring back from his worldwide travels: cacti, yucca, water lilies, jasmines, bougainvilleas, palms, coconut and banana trees, bamboos . . .

In 1937, the artist created an ultramarine blue colour that was intense and luminous at the sametime – referred to today as Majorelle Blue – with which he painted the walls of his studio and laterthe entire garden, which he opened to the public in 1947. Following an automobile accident,Majorelle was taken to Paris, where he died in 1962. The garden fell into a state of neglect.

It was saved from becoming a real estate project in 1980, when the garden was acquired by PierreBergé and Yves Saint Laurent, who brought it back to life.

A#er the death of Yves Saint Laurent in 2008, Pierre Bergé donated the Jardin Majorelle to theFondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent.

Majorelle, A Moroccan Oasis

The Jardin Majorelle, located in the southern Moroccan desert oasis of Marrakech, is one of the 20th century’s most enchanting, even mystical, garden experiences. Created over the course of nearly forty years, the garden complex is a labyrinth composed of bisecting pathways andinterconnected levels, Moorish and Art Deco-inspired structures, and bold palettes, all assembledamong a vast, opulent array of exotic plants and trees collected from the far reaches of the world.Conceived as a walled inner sanctum and laboratory by French-born painter Jacques Majorelle, thegarden is a place of individual expression and great power rarely seen in contemporary garden design.[ . . . ]

Like fellow artist Claude Monet, Majorelle was to become one of the most important plantcollectors of his time, and his garden became the backdrop for his canvases. Similar to Monet in his vast quest for new plants, Majorelle !nanced plant expeditions, imported rare varieties, andcorresponded with other collectors and botanical gardens around the world.

#e Café Bousafsaf

In its shade-"lled Moroccan courtyard, the Café Bousafsaf welcomes guests during opening hoursat the garden. A choice of Moroccan or Continental breakfast is available, and lunch is served à lacarte (salads and hot food).

It’s an ideal place to enjoy a peaceful moment, on the terrace under the trees and whitebougainvillea, or inside in the cosy, traditional Moroccan salons, heated by chimney "res in winter.
