The Arab World Institute was inaugurated in 1987 by President François Mitterrand and houses a very interesting museum. 

 

It offers the visitors to discover the Arab world in an educational and dynamic way with the 22 Arab countries that founded the institute.

It gives a general overview of the Arab societies through a thematic approach. Indeed, it makes links between elements of the past and of the present. 

Of course, cultural, religious, social and political topics are discussed allowing a better understanding of the development of these great civilizations.
