This ambitious collaboration, which is part of the development of a common policy of international cooperation, is based on a better knowledge, control and enhancement of Berber heritage, said a joint statement of the partner parties.

The Mucem and the Jardin Majorelle Fondation -in partnership with the Yves Saint Laurent Paris Museum - will be able to exchange on their different protocols of conservation, restoration and inventory of collections, specified the same source.

It added that the three parties will, in particular, collaborate in documenting the objects in their respective Amazigh collections, their history and their identification, but also share their resource networks.

Exchanges of exhibitions between the two museums are also planned, in order to explore the diversity and richness of this heritage, both in Marseille and Marrakech, the statement said.

This agreement aims to establish and maintain privileged and lasting links between museums and their teams in France and Morocco, to improve in particular the skills of museum professionals through the exchange of good practices and to optimize the implementation of joint projects, the same source underlined.

It concluded that this ambitious collaboration is meant to enhance the heritage of both shores of the Mediterranean.
