The contemporary art scene is one of the strongest reasons to spend time beyond the medina’s monuments. Guéliz in particular has become a compact gallery district, while larger spaces elsewhere in the city connect Moroccan work with artists from across Africa and the diaspora.
The galleries below have distinct programs rather than functioning mainly as décor shops. Exhibitions rotate and private events can affect access, so check the current show and opening schedule before building a day around a specific artist.
Comptoir des Mines Galerie
Comptoir des Mines occupies an atmospheric former industrial-era building in Guéliz and has become a significant platform for modern and contemporary art. The architecture adds depth to exhibitions, making the visit worthwhile even when you arrive without knowing the featured artist.
Allow enough time to look beyond the first rooms, as installations can use several parts of the building. Combine it with other Rue Yougoslavie galleries for an efficient art-focused walk.

David Bloch Gallery
David Bloch Gallery is a polished Guéliz address known for contemporary work that often crosses painting, abstraction, street-influenced practices and graphic culture. The compact format makes it easy to understand the current exhibition without turning the visit into a half-day commitment.
Check the exhibition calendar first because the appeal depends heavily on the artist on view. It pairs naturally with nearby cafés and other galleries in central Guéliz.

Matisse Art Gallery
Matisse Art Gallery has a long-standing presence in Marrakech’s modern art landscape and presents established Moroccan and international artists. Its Guéliz location makes it a useful stop for visitors who want a more traditional gallery experience alongside newer experimental spaces.
Treat it as part of a multi-gallery route rather than an isolated destination. Asking about the current exhibition can also help distinguish permanent inventory from the main show.

6.4 Gallery
6.4 Gallery brings contemporary art into the Mohammed VI corridor and is a convenient option for travelers staying around Guéliz or Hivernage. Its programming adds another perspective to the city’s gallery circuit without requiring a trip deep into the medina.
Confirm current exhibition hours before visiting because smaller galleries may adjust schedules around installations and events. The central location makes a short visit easy to combine with dinner or shopping.
