Maroc : le Musée MMVI, écrin chic pour Rabat

9 octobre 2014 à 18:47

Par Youssef Aït Akdim

Mis à jour le 9 octobre 2014 à 18:47

Le Musée Mohammed-VI d’art moderne et contemporain (MMVI), premier musée national construit par le royaume depuis 1958, a ouvert ses portes mercredi 8 octobre, à Rabat. Retour sur l’évènement phare de la rentrée culturelle marocaine.

Qu’est-ce que le musée Mohammed VI d’art moderne et contemporain ?

Inauguré en grande pompe, le 7 octobre, par Mohammed VI, le MMVI (c’est son petit nom) est une première marocaine. D’après les connaisseurs, c’est le premier musée national à ouvrir ses portes depuis 1958. Dans un domaine où les galeries et les fondations de groupes privés (banques, assurances, immobilier) avaient pris les devants, il s’agit là d’un investissement public. Le bâtiment lui-même, conçu par l’architecte Karim Chakor, est de style néo-mauresque. Il s’inscrit dans le style architectural typique du centre-ville de Rabat. En plus des salles d’exposition, une librairie, un auditorium et une cafétéria ont été prévus pour le confort du public. L’ensemble est un ajout appréciable dans le paysage culturel de la capitale marocaine. Le même jour, le souverain a donné le lancement des travaux du Grand théâtre de Rabat, confié à l’architecte Zaha Hadid.

Pourquoi cela a-t-il pris autant de temps ?

Le MMVI est la première grande réalisation de Mohammed Qotbi en tant que président de la fondation nationale des musées. Lui-même artiste et lobbyiste patenté du Maroc en France, il a pris les rênes de la fondation, sur nomination royale. En plus des musées qui relevaient du ministère de la Culture, il doit superviser la création de nouveaux et remettre le secteur public au coeur des investissements culturels. Une petite polémique a précédé l’inauguration, qui a dû être décalée de deux semaines. Deux syndicats de plasticiens, présidés par deux vétérans de la scène marocaine (Abdellatif Zine et Abdelhay Mellakh, tous deux exposés au MMVI) ont dénoncé le manque de concertation avec les artistes. Il aura fallu dix années de travaux. Mais le plus grand travail a été de rassembler les pièces et de réunir un champ artistique miné par les ambitions personnelles.

Y a-t-il un effet Mohammed VI sur le marché de l’art ?

Mohammed VI est féru d’arts plastiques, lui-même peintre pendant sa jeunesse. Après son accession au trône, il a boosté le monde de la création locale. Au départ, Mohammed VI s’est constitué une collection d’artistes célèbres: les cotes actuelles de Mahi Binebine, Hassan el Glaoui, Jilali Gharbaoui, Chaibia Talal, etc. doivent beaucoup à la mode lancée par le roi. Autour de lui, les proches, puis tous les puissants du royaume se sont entichés d’art moderne et contemporain. Le jour de l’inauguration, Mohammed VI a longuement visité l’exposition – 400 oeuvres, 200 artistes – consacrée à 100 ans d’art marocain (1914-2014), parcourant pendant deux heures la rétrospective, écoutant les présentations des artistes. Toutes les oeuvres présentées ont été prêtées, mais aucune ne vient du fonds privé du roi. Nul doute qu’après cette première, les prêts et dons vont affluer.

A must-visit for art lovers living in or visiting Morocco.

COVID prevention protocals were strictly followed (a rarity in our observations in Morocco) including vaccine pass required for entry, temperature checks, and enforced mask-wearing.

Multi-lingual staff made us feel very welcome and deepened our engagement with the works of art on display. Omar who greeted us at the welcome desk was especially helpful in preparing us for what we'd see in the temporary exhibitions, and helped us learn more about the permanent collection.

On the occasion of our visit in January 2022 there were three exhibitions on display, all quite different from each other, but with many being photography-based (which we loved) from the collaborator artists Gérard Rancinan and Caroline Gaudriault; Henri Cartier-Bresson; and an assortment of African-based artists.

The permanent collection of modern and contemporary Moroccan artists' work was in the process of being reinstalled, however the staff invited us to look through several beautifully-produced books featuring the collection so we'd have a better understanding of what to look forward to on a future visit.

We'll be following the Museum's Instagram page (museemohammed6) to stay tuned for the next exhibitions; we're...

A cheap ticket (20D) and the museum is comprehensive and interesting if you want to take a look at Moroccan art history, famous photographers, currency history and some special exhibitions.

The building itself is pure white with many interesting details on its exterior, and my sister, an architect, is annoyed to draw so many details if she is making the design.

Morrocan art history is different from European and Chinese art history, where I found a lot of elements like dessert, kasbah, and camel. The colours they used are generally pretty bright and full of energy; I like them. Moreover, they are not shame of using 'childish techniques to draw, the line and characters are simple like a kid's work, and the paints are generally about Morrocan's daily life. Interesting.

You won't see a lot of black people in their paintings. The majority of Moroccans are not black even now, but you will see some black Moroccan artists or photographers put their works (Mostly photography-based), probably a documentary about their life? (I forget). It is an interesting thing.

Overall, I would recommend this place; it is not crowded at all and worth its price for an assortment of...

Visiting this museum was one of the highlights of my time in Rabat. It feels like stepping into the pulse of modern Moroccan art. Inside, the collection spans from early 20th-century works up to today, with paintings, sculptures, photography, and new media. I loved seeing how the museum balances local talent and global influence. Each gallery moves you through Morocco’s evolving art story, and the lighting and layout let each piece breathe. It’s quiet, contemplative, and I had space to take my time. The plaques are informative, and you get enough context without it feeling like a textbook. I appreciated that the museum also hosts temporary shows and events. It felt alive. If you go, try to set aside at least an hour or more. Don’t skip the outdoor areas and the architecture itself. And if there’s a workshop or lecture happening, join it, those give extra depth to what you see on the walls. All in all, the Mohammed VI Museum is a must for anyone into art, culture, or modern Morocco. I walked away feeling I understood a little more about this place and its creative spirit.

I've to almost all National museums, and this is by far the fanciest. The building outide out is beautiful. The decoration is on point, and the logistics, staff, organization ... are top notch. What I missed in the museum is more Moroccan Art. The exhibits had more arab items than Moroccan art. I've seen and learned about Moroccan Plastic art and artists compared to other Art Museums (Villa des arts or Bank Al Maghrib Museum). I hope to see more Moroccan (Arabo, Amazighi art) and of course more Modern artists from the likes of Tetouani or Casaoui Schools (More Gharbaoui, Belkahia, Cherkaoui, Mlihi, Talal ...) I really want to change my mind about this museum. This is why I feel like owe it a second visit.
