From the top floor of the I.M.A you can see the Eiffle tower as well. here is the Eiffel tower from inside with the blurred mousharabieh. The façade of the building of the Institut du monde Arabe is made out of those Arabesque style "blinds" called Mousharabieh that they used to make them from wood. the mousharabieh on the IMA closes during the day depending on the heat of the sun. more info: Moucharabieh on wiki Institut du monde Arabe Arab World Institute
