National Foundation of Museums (FNM) announced that free admission will be granted to its affiliate museums across the country from October 12 to 18.
The initiative coincides with the sixth anniversary of the inauguration of the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMVI) in Rabat.
Since its opening, very large exhibitions and retrospectives of Moroccan artists have been hosted by the MMVI, said the FNM in a statement, quoting the inaugural exhibition “1914-2014, One Hundred Years of Creation” in 2014, “Moroccan Women Artists of Modernity, 1916-2016” in 2016, the pioneer of Moroccan modernity “Ahmed Cherkaoui, between modernity and roots”, Chaïbia Talal, Radia Bent Lhoucine, Fatima Hassan Lfarouj’s “Journey to the sources of art” in 2018, and Hassan El Glaoui “The salt of my land” in 2019.
The Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art also featured major international exhibitions, including “Giacometti Retrospective” in 2016, “From Goya to Today” on loan from the Banco de España in 2017, and “Facing Picasso.”
The MMVI is the first museum in Africa to integrate solar energy, thus becoming more eco-responsible. It is also a place that welcomes contemporary African artists as it held exhibitions such as “Africa in Capital” in 2017 and “Lights of Africa” in 2019, which brought together works by artists from the 54 countries of the continent, in partnership with the African Artists for Development Fund.
