The MMVI is the first museum institution in Morocco to devote itself to modern and contemporary art. The museum is part of a vast policy to develop and strengthen Morocco’s large-scale cultural infrastructure. It is the first museum institution in the Kingdom to devoting itself entirely to modern and contemporary arts, and also the first public institution to meet international museum standards. It aims to cover the evolution of Moroccan artistic creation in the plastic and visual arts, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. However, this era is that of two modern and contemporary cultures, which are not without maintaining links of rupture or renewal with the traditional artistic and cultural heritage of the country. It is, therefore, this double aspect of the artistic heritage that the MMVI intends to conserve, animate and enrich in order to share it and make it better known to the Moroccan and international public.
