Step from the bustle of Marrakech into André Heller’s Anima Garden — a planted sculpture park where monumental art meets subtropical plantings. This guide covers what to expect, logistics and tips for planning a half-day visit.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive by a quiet road that drops out of Marrakech into a softer landscape — palms and bougainvillea give way to groves where sculptural forms puncture the canopy. Anima Garden feels like an artist’s intervention in the foothills: monumental sculptures by Picasso, Keith Haring, Alexander Calder and Rodin appear between clumps of bamboo, cacti and exotic palms, each piece set against winding paths and planted terraces.
