  I absolutely loved the temporary exposition they are doing for the treasures saved from gaza. You can see really the impact of destruction and the things as humanity we have lost just because of greed and evil. I recommend this place for everyone.

  Decades of somewhat neglect have taken toll on what used to be the #1 tech-building in the world. Curatorially, museum and exhibitions must update, too.

  We came to see an exhibit about fragrances and the history of them. It was such a unique and immersive experience! The building is also beautiful so be sure to give yourself time to roam.

  The building alone is worth the visit. The temporary exhibitions (Palestine, Jean Genet) were brilliant, with lots of information to read. It seems both exhibitions were mixed with the permanent ones. With signage not always clear (should we take the stairs or lift...), it was sometimes confusing. Not a problem since everything was great, but a bit annoying at times. The bookstore has lots of choices to deepen the subjects...

  To be honest for a ticket that costs 15 eur per person including the extra expositions, I was expecting much more. The museum is also a bit confusing, mixing artifacts not only from the Arab world but also Iran and India. The book collections are quite impressive with very old copies that have sometimes 1000 years. The building is so and so as well, a bit old, dark and not very inspiring or in theme with the Arab culture.
