Why it's worth the trip

World class galleries in a building that is the show itself: the "rain of light" under the dome and the water around it. Allow two to three hours.

About this place

Designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in 2017, Louvre Abu Dhabi tells the story of humanity through art, from ancient objects to modern works, arranged by age rather than by country. Its vast latticed dome lets light fall through like rain onto white galleries surrounded by the sea.

بالعربي

فنون من كل العصور تحت قبة تمطر ضوءاً.

صالات عرض عالمية في مبنى هو بحد ذاته العرض: «مطر الضوء» تحت القبة والماء من حولها. خصص ساعتين إلى ثلاث.

صمّمه جان نوفيل وافتُتح عام 2017، ويروي متحف اللوفر أبوظبي قصة الإنسانية عبر الفن، من القطع القديمة إلى الأعمال الحديثة، مرتبة حسب العصر لا حسب البلد. قبته المشبكة الضخمة تُسقط الضوء كالمطر على صالات بيضاء يحيط بها البحر.
