La Femme d’Art à Marrakech | Mustapha Chouquir

King Mohammed VI* opened an eponymous museum for contemporary and modern art in Rabat last week. The king and his wife Lalla Salma invited Vanessa Branson to the museum’s inaugural dinner. The King used the occasion to present Vanessa – the veritable woman of art in Marrakech – with the prestigious Ouissam Alaouite medal in celebration of her contribution to the Moroccan art world.
