The Museum will be built in Marrakech, near the Al Maaden Sculpture Park and responds to a program with an area of 7,700 m2 that includes exhibition spaces, conference rooms, documentation centre and public areas.
The project developed by Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, in collaboration with Omar Alaoui Architectes, is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Moroccan architecture, generated by the addition of four independent volumes, expressing the contrast between the brightness of the interior spaces and the opacity of the massive outer walls of rammed earth concrete.
The public presentation of the project took place on October 15, 2014 at the Institut du Monde Arab in Paris on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition "Le Maroc Contemporain" collecting the different manifestations of contemporary creation in Morocco.
