A story that connects us all through some of the world’s greatest works of art. The museum shows the relationship between works of art created at different times, in different places and by people from different civilizations. The result is a remarkable and growing collection. The museum brings together different cultures to shed new light on these common stories of humanity, beyond specific civilizations, eras or places. This philosophy guides the museum in everything it does, from its founding as a collaboration between two cultures to the dazzling architecture that combines French design with Arab heritage.
