The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a ‘floating city’ of culture, packed to the immaculately designed gills with some of the greatest art in the world. See originals by the likes of Van Gogh, Monet, and more in a mind-boggling 64,000m2 museum designed by legendary architect Jean Nouvel. It’s east meets west in a groundbreaking gallery that’s as much of a work of art as the masterpieces it contains.
Abu Dhabi’s own Louvre dominates Saadiyat Island, with an instantly iconic design. The intricate girding of over 7,850 uniquely shaped metal stars comprise a giant domed roof, creating crisscrossing beams of light and shadow.
Beneath, you’ll discover a veritable village of 26 galleries, floating on a placid lake. Wandering the serene pathways is an experience in itself, but don’t forget: there’s legions of top-tier art awaiting inside. It’s an embarrassment of riches.
Conceived as a ‘universal’ museum that’s accessible to all, the collection is arranged chronologically, not geographically. This means you’ll see works from Ancient Egypt alongside pieces from Europe and Asia, and you might spot a Van Gogh rubbing shoulders with small-scale folk art.
Celebrating the connections between people and cultures across the globe, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art museum in a league of its own.
