The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art museum located on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It runs under an agreement between the UAE and France, signed in March 2007, and has been described by the Louvre as “France’s largest cultural project abroad.”
In 2020 the museum acquired 167 new artworks for our permanent collection and secured landmark loans of masterpieces by artists such as Vassily Kandinsky, Claude Monet, Jackson Pollock, Edouard Vuillard, and Johannes Vermeer. This diversity reminds us that the long history of human creativity cannot be explained by a single narrative but only through diverse tales of encounter and exchange. As a universal museum, Louvre Abu Dhabi strives to tell these stories with every means at our disposal. The results are amazing, come and see for yourself.
