Institut der Arabischen Welt (Institut du Monde Arabe)

1 Rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard, Paris, France, 75005

The basics

The building itself is noteworthy, as the intricate latticework on the building’s southern exterior was inspired by a traditional Moorish screen. The museum regularly hosts large temporary exhibitions, with past topics such as contemporary Moroccan art, silks of al-Andalus, and hip-hop in the Bronx Arab streets. Numerous museum and sightseeing combo passes include admission to the institute and are a great way to save money if you plan to visit multiple attractions.

Arab Culture in Paris

Paris has a large population of people from (or with ancestry in) the Arab world, and those interested in Arab culture will find plenty to see and do here. The museum’s Center for Language and Civilization offers Arabic classes for both children and adults. The Mosque of Paris nearby is also worth a visit; there’s even a hammam (Turkish bath) right on-site.
