It is a country of a thousand and one lights and stunning natural landscapes capable of inspiring many an artist! The vitality of artistic creation reflects the many riches of the country.

Several galleries, often located in exceptional venues, regularly exhibit the works of talented Moroccan artists. These include the Galerie Bab Rouah in Rabat installed in the richly decorated monumental gate of the same name. Four rooms regularly showcase magnificent creations. Still in Rabat , a gallery is located in Bab El Kébir, a gate built in 1150. It is a jewel of Almohad architecture. It comprises three exhibition rooms. In Marrakech, the Galerie Bab Doukala opened in 1989 in one of the main and oldest gates of the medina. It hosts exhibitions of Moroccan and foreign artists.
