The Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA) is a cultural institution dedicated to promoting Arab civilization and fostering dialogue between France and the Arab world. Established in 1987 through a collaboration between France and 18 Arab countries, the IMA offers a diverse array of exhibitions, performances, and educational programs. Its museum showcases artifacts spanning from ancient to contemporary Arab cultures, while its library and language center serve as vital resources for research and learning. Housed in an iconic building designed by Jean Nouvel, featuring a façade inspired by traditional mashrabiya screens, the IMA stands as a symbol of intercultural exchange and architectural innovation.
