The larger museum in Marrakesh will be located on Rue Yves-Saint Laurent near Jardin Majorelle, a garden that he and business partner&nbsp;Pierre Berg&eacute;&nbsp;saved from development in 1980. Currently, it is&nbsp;home to a Berber cultural museum and cultural site that receives 700,000 visitors a year.

French architectural&nbsp;firm Studio KO is behind the 4,000 square meter space&nbsp;that will comprise a museum with a permanent collection of&nbsp;Saint Laurent&rsquo;s work, a space for temporary exhibitions, an auditorium, a research library, as well as a caf&eacute; and restaurant.
