IMA

I absolutely loved the temporary exposition they are doing for the treasures saved from gaza. You can see really the impact of destruction and the things as humanity we have lost just because of greed and evil. I recommend this place for everyone.

I recently visited the Arab World Institute with great interest in its cultural and historical offerings. While the exhibitions were insightful, I found that the Maghreb’s heritage was less visible compared to other regions. If dedicated sections exist, they were not clearly highlighted, which risks leaving visitors with an incomplete view of the Arab world. Despite renovations, parts of the building still feel worn, and recent leadership challenges may also explain why certain areas seem underdeveloped. Overall, the institute has much to offer, but giving greater prominence to North African contributions would provide a richer and more balanced visitor experience.

Beautiful building inside, and definitely one of the better (free) views across the Notre Dame, best towards sunset, maybe pair with the restaurant. Temporary exhibitions sometimes fascinating, can be hit and miss depending on your interests. Definitely worth a peek, particularly if you are wandering the Left Bank.

We came to see an exhibit about fragrances and the history of them. It was such a unique and immersive experience! The building is also beautiful so be sure to give yourself time to roam.

The building alone is worth the visit. The temporary exhibitions (Palestine, Jean Genet) were brilliant, with lots of information to read. It seems both exhibitions were mixed with the permanent ones. With signage not always clear (should we take the stairs or lift...), it was sometimes confusing. Not a problem since everything was great, but a bit annoying at times. The bookstore has lots of choices to deepen the subjects...

We went to the Gaza exhibition on a whim. The first room has interesting archeological finds from Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Christian and Muslim culture. The second room has pictures of various churches and museums before and now, blown to bits by the idf.

nice building but poor content. Alot of objects but no map no date or overall storline. You can skip it and visit much better museums in Paris

Decades of somewhat neglect have taken toll on what used to be the #1 tech-building in the world. Curatorially, museum and exhibitions must update, too.
