Sufi Museum
CFSACK is pleased to offer and support the programming of museum, art and interactive exhibits, lectures, conferences, performances, classes, seminars, workshops and events for the public at the Musée d’Art et de Culture Soufis MTO™ (MACS MTO™). Housed in a 19th-century mansion in Chatou, just outside of Paris, MACS MTO is the first museum dedicated entirely to exploring the art and cultural practices of Sufism.
MACS MTO's mission is to develop an understanding of Sufism's rich contribution throughout history by highlighting its fundamental values of education and learning, mutual understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, and unity.
The museum draws on the seven-step journey of Sufism, which refers to the development of the soul, to showcase works symbolic of the principles and teachings of Sufism. Ranging from the Achaemenid period (559–334/327 BC) to the present day, the collection includes sculptural works; ceramic tilework and mirror works; manuscripts and lithographs; calligraphy; tapestries; traditional Iranian clothing and textiles; and a vast collection of stamps, coins, and other artifacts. MACS MTO is also equipped with a variety of advanced technologies and facilities—including virtual reality and holographic technologies—to immerse visitors in the museum's comprehensive collection and special exhibitions. In addition to the symbolic and educational works on display in its galleries, the museum also provides an inspirational and tranquil space for its visitors in the Museum’s garden and library.
