About Louvre Abu Dhabi

Louvre Abu Dhabi is a new cultural beacon, bringing different cultures together to shine fresh light on the shared stories of humanity.

In March 2007, the government of United Arab Emirates and France formed an unprecedented partnership for cultural exchange, and the highlight of this was the establishment of Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island. The partnership combines the UAE’s bold vision of cultural progression and openness, with France’s expertise in the world of art and museums.

Louvre Abu Dhabi champions cultural achievements from prehistory to the present day. The galleries are not separated by geography but set in chronological order, the aim is to encourage respect, curiosity, learning and self-reflection.
