Louvre Abu Dhabi

The first universal museum in the Arab world bringing together different cultures of the world

Saadiyat Cultural District, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Louvre Abu Dhabi is planned as the first universal museum in the Arab world. Born of an agreement between the governments of Abu Dhabi and France, the Louvre Abu Dhabi displays art, manuscripts, and objects of historical, cultural and sociological significance. Spanning millennia, the items on display originate from societies and cultures all over the world, but universal themes and common influences are highlighted to illustrate similarities arising from shared human experience transcending geography, nationality, and history.
