We were on the tour - I really liked it! The building itself is modern, of an unusual shape, but inside it is spacious, somehow cozy and, despite the large number of visitors, spacious, convenient to look at. I was pleased that the exposition is constantly changing, with entire collections. And the collections themselves are very competently compiled - from prehistoric times to the Impressionists, several exhibits from different regions. During our visit, there were just those masterpieces that I love))): Fayum portraits, Hokusai "Big Wave", several medieval paintings, the Order of the Golden Fleece, samurai armor, Egyptian statues. I recommend it!

Emirates . Abu Dhabi .
And yes, friends, there is a real Louvre in the Emirates.
How did it happen?
Abu Dhabi is a legendary museum that has become a point of attraction for fans of history, architecture and painting from all over the world.
It became an art museum in Abu Dhabi,
a branch of the Louvre in Paris. Really.
The Louvre in Paris has sold the United Arab Emirates the right to use its name in a future branch of the museum for 400 million euros.
The total cost of building a branch in Abu Dhabi is estimated at one billion euros. The agreement on the creation of a new museum was signed on March 6, 2007 in the capital of the UAE, the France Presse news agency reported.
The museum was opened in 2017 after long negotiations and huge investments.
The collection of the Louvre Abu Dhabi includes exhibits from various eras and civilizations, including paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gogh, Manet, Bellini.
The museum building is a synthesis of European and Arab traditions: it has an openwork glass dome, snow-white walls and geometric channels with water.
You walk around the museum as if in some kind of fantastic space, You can stay here all day and come back the next day.
When you leave the museum , this incredible openwork roof and the realization that the museum stands on water . Everything is unusual ! Achievements of science and implementation into reality .
The Louvre Museum is located in Abu Dhabi on the island of Saadiyat in the Persian Gulf.
You can get here by car in 10 minutes from the center of Abu Dhabi or by bus 94. We took a taxi,
To rent an audio guide (25 drx), we did not meet in Russian, but if you need another language, take with you an identity document (for collateral).
Admission is free for children under 13 years old.
Enjoy. I wish you a pleasant time.

The Louvre in Abu Dhabi is an amazing museum with a rich collection of art: real masterpieces of sculpture, paintings, dishes, frescoes. The museum is worth visiting for all art lovers and connoisseurs! You need to put in about 4 hours for a visit. The museum has free Wi-Fi and an audio guide. It is very convenient and interesting. The French living room has become my favorite exhibit for me personally. The museum has a lot of interactive content, temporary exhibitions and an exciting children's museum (I have not seen such solutions for demonstrating art in any museum - it is really fascinating and innovative)
