What to expect

A Unique Immersion into the Memory of a Millennia-Old Land

Through the winding paths of time and the upheavals of history, the Gaza Strip has seen the birth, flourishing, and decline of great civilizations. Located at the crossroads of the Levant and North Africa, this narrow strip of Mediterranean land has hosted for millennia a cultural heritage of unsuspected richness. Today, the Arab World Institute invites you to discover, for the very first time in France, an exceptional exhibition: “Treasures Saved from Gaza – 5000 Years of History.”

Treasures Saved from Gaza – 5000 Years of History

An Exceptional and Moving Exhibition

This exhibition is not merely a display of ancient objects. It is a moving encounter with a heritage in peril, rescued from oblivion and destruction. You will discover more than one hundred archaeological pieces — Byzantine mosaics, Canaanite pottery, Greco-Roman statues, Islamic jewelry — all bearing witness to Gaza’s glorious past, often overshadowed by contemporary events.

Each artifact is a voice, a silent witness from a bygone era, still resonating with humanity. These treasures, preserved sometimes at tremendous cost, tell a story of resilience and beauty at the heart of a conflict-ridden region.

A Rich and Educational Journey

Designed as a chronological journey, the exhibition guides you through five millennia of history, from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman period. Explanatory panels, maps, videos, and even interactive devices allow all audiences — novices, enthusiasts, or families — to grasp the keys to understanding this often-overlooked heritage.

Children are not forgotten: a specially designed playful trail enables them to explore history in an intuitive and captivating way.

A Cultural and Solidarity Gesture

By reserving your ticket for this exhibition, you are doing more than buying admission: you are participating in an act of recognition for a people and their heritage. This exhibition is a plea for the protection of culture in war zones, a vibrant tribute to archaeologists, curators, and craftsmen who strive to preserve these wonders under extreme conditions.

The Setting: The Arab World Institute

It is within the prestigious surroundings of the Arab World Institute (AWI), located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, that this exhibition unfolds. Founded by Jack Lang, the AWI is an emblematic venue for intercultural dialogue. Boasting remarkable architecture and a modern, light-filled exhibition space, it offers visitors a high-quality immersive experience.

Take advantage of your visit to explore the panoramic terrace of the Institute with its breathtaking view over Paris, or to enjoy a mint tea at the AWI café.
