The exhibition museum presents, through an innovative staging that combines images, sounds, lighting atmospheres, and technological devices, 15 centuries of Islamic civilization history\u2014a movement that leads to the diversity of practices and questions posed today by a religion followed by more than one and a half billion people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Opened in 2016, Mucivi is housed in a listed Art Nouveau building on the main street of the watchmaking metropolis in the canton of Neuch\u00e2tel. This city is home to several renowned cultural institutions, and its streets and buildings\u2019 architecture have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. On the building\u2019s facade, five women\u2014allegories of the five continents\u2014set the tone for a visit marked by encounter and journey. Mucivi was created by a multidisciplinary team of specialists: a long-term project dating back to the early 2000s for a unique place in Europe.<\/p>\n\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>                                        \r\n                <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/section>\n\n<section id=\"\" class=\"iframe-block iframe-block-id-69e34fba9d022  bg-color-black\">\r\n                <div class=\"container\">\r\n                    <div class=\"iframe-wrapper\">\r\n                        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                            \r\n                            <div class=\"col-12 image-video-layout my-4\">\r\n                                \r\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"youtube-iframe ratio ratio-16x9\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t            <iframe class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BKu3EMjd3KQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>                            \r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/section>\n\n\r\n        <style>\r\n             .showcase-section-block-69e34fba9d07f {\r\n                background-image: url(https:\/\/www.mucivi.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/schreyer-1701686-2560x3197-1-scaled.jpg);\r\n                background-attachment: fixed;\r\n                background-size: cover;  \r\n                background-repeat: no-repeat; \r\n                background-position: center center;\r\n                overflow: hidden;\r\n                color:  var(--mucivi-white);\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            @media (max-width: 1024px) {\r\n                 .showcase-section-block-69e34fba9d07f {\r\n                    background-attachment: scroll;\r\n                }\r\n            }\r\n        <\/style><section class=\"showcase-section-block showcase-section-block-69e34fba9d07f\">   \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"container showcase-section-container showcase-section-banner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                 \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"showcase-overlay\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"showcase-section d-flex flex-column align-items-center justify-content-evenly text-center\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t            <div class=\"showcase-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"showcase-title\">D\u00e9couvrir l\u2019exposition de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t                <p class=\"showcase-description\"><\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t                  <div class=\"showcase-section-button\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <a class=\"btn-full btn-full-secondary\" href=\"\/en\/exhibitions\/\">\r\n\t                            Discover the permanent exhibition\r\n\t                          <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t                  <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3258","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
