MACS MTO expresses its gratitude to Alexandra Baudelot for her dedication and leadership of the
museum for the last two years. During her tenure, the museum opened its doors to the public in
September 2024.

“Leading the Musée d’Art et de Culture Soufis MTO through its inaugural phase has been a profound
and rewarding experience. It has been an honour to contribute to the establishment of this unique
institution, dedicated to exploring the artistic and cultural expressions of Sufism. I am grateful to the
team, the artists, and our supporters for their commitment and passion. I am deeply thankful to the
board of directors who offered me the opportunity to join them on this remarkable journey and bring
their compelling vision to life. I look forward to seeing the museum continue to flourish in the years to
come.”
– Alexandra Baudelot, director of Musée d’Art et de Culture Soufis MTO

“Under Alexandra’s leadership, the museum successfully launched in 2024, establishing itself as a
distinguished space for Sufi artistic and cultural enrichment. She played a pivotal role in shaping our
long-standing vision, fostering a dynamic dialogue between historical collections and contemporary
creation. Her curation of the inaugural exhibition Un Ciel intérieur embodied our mission to bridge the
principles of Sufism with contemporary artistic expression. Her unwavering dedication has been
instrumental in laying the museum’s foundations, positioning it as a cornerstone of Sufi art and
culture.”
– Claire Bay, President of the Board of MACS MTO, Interim Director

We look forward to announcing our next director soon. In the meantime, our team and board of
directors remain committed to ensuring a seamless transition and an exciting future ahead. We will
share more details in due course.
