About Institut du monde arabe
The Institut du monde arabe in Paris's Latin Quarter has served as a cultural bridge between France and the Arab world since 1987. The building, designed by Jean Nouvel, is known for its innovative south façade, which uses computer-controlled iris diaphragms to regulate the light, combining traditional Arab ornamentation with modern technology. Here you'll experience a synthesis of science and culture, supported by an extensive library, a language lab, a cinema, and changing exhibitions on art and civilization. A restaurant with views of the city and a smoking lounge round out the offerings and invite you to linger.
