The Institut du monde arabe museum - Donation Claude et France Lemand.

By going through the four successive floors that mark the museum's route, visitors enter as many distinct worlds, fully expressing the plurality of the Arab world in terms of ethnic groups, languages, faiths and cultural traditions.

Across four levels and 2,400 m², visitors are invited into a dialogue between works and objects from fields rarely brought together: ancient and medieval archaeology, art and craft, ethnography and modern and contemporary creation.

Exhibitions accessible with this ticket: From 13 May to 20 October 2026, Libye, Patrimoine révélé: Half a century of Franco-Libyan archaeological cooperation, 1976-2026. A photography exhibition at the Institut du monde arabe museum.

From 22 October 2025 to 3 January 2027, Tenter l'art pour soigner: At the Blida-Joinville psychiatric hospital during the 1960s.

In 2022, the museum received a generous donation: a set of archives, painted ceramics and numerous gouache drawings, produced at the end of the 1960s during sociotherapy workshops held at the Blida-Joinville psychiatric hospital (HPB), an Algerian institution marked by the emblematic figure of Frantz Fanon.
