Here is a fun fact that you may not know: The Louvre is in the United Arab Emirates! And no, we don\u2019t mean the Louvre museum in Paris<\/a>, but the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which is a museum that is just as awe-inspiring and packed with all kinds of treasures and antiquities from the past. If you are looking for a change of pace, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a must-see, offering many historical and cultural insights, modern architecture, and activities for everyone. Read on to learn more about it and why it is a must-add to your travel<\/a> itinerary!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Exactly is the Abu Dhabi Louvre?<\/h2>\n

The Abu Dhabi Louvre and its large dome structure sit atop Saadiyat Island, a stone\u2019s throw from the city’s coast. It’s around a five-minute drive from downtown Abu Dhabi or an hour\u2019s ride from Dubai<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to Get to the Abu Dhabi Louvre<\/h2>\n

The museum is easily accessible by taxi, bus, or private car, so you won\u2019t have any issues going around.<\/p>\n

What Is Inside the Abu Dhabi Louvre?<\/h2>\n

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a spot where the East meets the West. Here, you can find a load of treasures from history\u2019s best empires \u2013 like Ancient Egypt, Western civilization, Ancient China, the Ottoman Empire, and, of course, the Arab civilization. The museum has a large selection of artifacts showcasing various cultures.<\/p>\n

What is interesting about it is that the exhibits are arranged chronologically rather than being curated by a material or culture. Every one of the museum\u2019s galleries tells the story of humanity in 12 chapters. Starting with Egyptian antiquities, the collections reach their climax with showstopping art installations, like Mathilde Laurent\u2019s Perfumed Cloud<\/em> or Ai WeiWei\u2019s Fountain of Light<\/em>, which is a beautiful sight of crystals and glass standing at 23 feet tall.<\/p>\n

Special Events<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t forget about the special events! Aside from the permanent collection, the Louvre Abu Dhabi hosts exhibitions tackling different themes. If you\u2019re curious about which special events are there in the coming weeks, consider going on AESU\u2019s upcoming Dubai tour!<\/p>\n
