after Paris, first în inequalities and social divisions, leading în poverty and its nearly 40% unemployment, the town hâș built its identity on a coexistence of many cultures, races and religions.

What was spectacular were also the costs of the construction: 300 million euro (for comparison: twice aș many aș the Stadium în Wrocław). Today, Mucem is experiencing management trouble, concerning not only the building, but its personnel aș well. The goal, however, was achieved: to add a stunning accessory to the urban space, to
