Impressive architecture at Saadiyat Island and being an icon there. Exhibits display has been very different than Louvre Paris, but it has been too long ago I went Louvre in Paris. The exhibits here is more of sculptures or some historic artifacts about currency used thousands of years ago. It wasn’t divided by region but a comparison of same or similar artifacts in different countries, seems more of Asia comparison. I didn’t pay attention or did any research of the theme about Louvre AD, which was going with clients. Still a must see there, interesting though.

Meravigliosa struttura che custodisce la storia del nostro patrimonio. Esposizione ben curata e varia nella storia. Arte e storia locali molto limitati ma significativi. Da non perdere però una passeggiata al tramonto il momento ideale per godersi la struttura immersa nell'acqua e sospesa nel cielo con la sua cupola. La lunga passeggiata all'interno non ha prezzo e termina con un installazione di luci e ombre che rimane nel cuore. Ci siamo fermati per curiosità ma ci torneremo per vederlo ancora. Veramente consigliato ad Abu Dhabi.

What an incredible experience. I was in awe of every room. Seeing artefacts from as long as 8000 years ago was incredible. A must visit in Abu Dhabi.

Sinceramente, non abbiamo trovato questo museo eccezionale. Nulla di eclatante, anche se la costruzione è senz’altro molto bella. La visita si svolge in circa un’ora e mezza. È comunque una raccolta discreta, che spazia dagli oggetti dell’antichità fino ai dipinti di Monet e Gauguin. In ogni caso, se siete ad Abu Dhabi, vale la pena visitarlo. Il biglietto costa 15 €. È raggiungibile dal centro con una corsa in taxi di circa 10 minuti, al costo di 10 €.

Museu incrível e moderno! Várias peças que contam muita história. Além de sua parte externa ser uma obra de arte impecável, a interna também surpreende, com um corredor sobre as águas.

Mega was in Abu dhabi im cultural Distrikt alles entstanden ist und dort noch entsteht. Das Louvre Museum ist ein architektonisches Meisterwerk. Um die Highlights anzuschauen (Audioguide per Handy App) solltest Du mindestens 2 -3Stunden einplanen. Natürlich ist das nicht mit dem Pariser Louvre zu vergleichen aber es sind einige interessante Ausstellungsstücke aus verschiedenen Zeitepochen zu sehen. Die Erklärungen per handyapp sind top und das Museum ist wie alles in Abu Dhabi perfekt organisiert. Eintrittspreis 65 AED. Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, vorausgesetzt man hat Interesse an Geschichte.

Si vous êtes dans le secteur, n'hésitez pas à visiter ce musée gratuit pour les enfants de moins de 18 ans. Le bâtiment par Jean Nouvel est joli et moderne, les oeuvres pourraient être un peu plus nombreuses. Juste en face, le futur Guggenheim en construction.
