Institut de Monde Arabe is something for travellers who are interested in Arabic art, culture, and lifestyle. The building has a conspicuous frontage of glass and aluminium, and is known as a succeeded example of modern architecture.
The creator of such an impressive sensation was the architect Jean Nouvel. He included several interesting attributes to this building, which makes it to a popular touristical attraction. So also if you are not interested in Arabic culture, the building itself is rather well worth seeing.
