Louvre Abu
Dhabi overview
Louvre Abu
Dhabi will be the first universal museum in the Arab world. Born of an
agreement between the governments of Abu Dhabi and France, the Louvre Abu Dhabi
will display art, manuscripts and objects of historical, cultural and
sociological significance. Spanning millennia, the items on display will
originate from societies and cultures all over the world, but universal themes
and common influences will be highlighted to illustrate similarities arising
from shared human experience transcending geography, nationality and history.
The museum is due to open in 2015.
Zayed
Museum Overview
At the heart
of the Saadiyat Cultural District is the Zayed National Museum, the centrepiece
of the island. Fittingly elevated above the rest of the cultural district at
its highest point, the museum tells the story of the region’s history and the
unification of the United Arab Emirates through the life and person of Sheikh
Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, father of the nation.

The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi
Overview
The Guggenheim
Abu Dhabi will be a pre-eminent platform for global contemporary art and
culture that will present the most important artistic achievements of our time.
Through its permanent collection, exhibitions, scholarly publications and
educational programs, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will promote a truly
transnational perspective on art history.
The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will move beyond a definition of global art premised on geography by focusing on the interconnected dynamics of local, regional, and international art centers as well as their diverse historical contexts and sources of creative inspiration. In realizing this endeavor, the museum will acknowledge and celebrate the specific identity derived from the cultural traditions of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates, as well as other countries comprising the Middle East, even as it pioneers a novel, visionary model that will redefine the art-historical canon.
The museum is due to open in 2017.
