Louvre Abu Dhabi

Saadiyat - Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates

Another architectural wonder has been completed in the United Arab Emirates and the 2017 opening of this new building complex has been one of the most anticipated events in the United Arab Emirates in the last several years. The architectural work of Jean Nouvel, Louvre Abu Dhabi incorporates light, shade, water, and simple shapes to create a phenomenal peaceful atmosphere that is an ever-changing work of art itself. The galleries are thoughtfully curated to tell the story of human form and art through time and the collections represent vast geographies and time periods. It’s easy to spend an entire day basking in the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s ‘rain of light’ - wandering through the past and present forms of art, and dining at the museum’s cafe while dhows (traditional wooden boats) float by the decks and windows.
