Institute of Islamic Culture, Cultural institution in 18th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The Institute of Islamic Culture (ICI) occupies two buildings in the Goutte-d'Or quarter: the 500 m² ICI Léon at 19 rue Léon, open since October 2006, with exhibition and teaching rooms and a tea-room around a central patio; and ICI Stephenson at 56 rue Stephenson, inaugurated on 28 November 2013, a 1,400 m² building by architects Yves Lion and David Jolly whose façade is a contemporary openwork moucharabieh.

The project was conceived in 2005 and opened its first site, the 500 m² ICI Léon at 19 rue Léon, in October 2006. A second building at 56 rue Stephenson, designed by architects Yves Lion and David Jolly, was inaugurated on 28 November 2013. In 2015 the Paris administrative court ruled the prayer room illegal under the 1905 law; the Conseil d'État confirmed this in 2017, and the planned Polonceau building was abandoned.

The institute runs Arabic, Wolof and calligraphy courses alongside concerts, conferences, literary cafés and film-debate evenings. Since 2011 it has hosted residencies and produced new works, beginning with Moroccan photographer Hassan Hajjaj; by 2021 about 220 artists had shown there and some 40 works had been produced. Its café-tea room opens onto a central patio used as an open-air stage in summer.

Visitors can check ahead to learn which exhibitions are running to help plan their visit. The two locations are easily accessible on foot and located in the heart of the district.

The Stephenson building, designed by architects Yves Lion and David Jolly, has a facade of perforated contemporary moucharabieh opening onto the public space. Its prayer room was sold by the City of Paris to the association owning the Grande Mosquée de Paris for 2.2 million euros.
