About Louvre Abu Dhabi

Journey through time at Louvre Abu Dhabi. See 600+ treasures, from mummified pharaohs to Babylonian sculptures, all under an architectural masterpiece designed by Pritzker Prize-laureate Jean Nouvel. 

Did you know?

Unlike other Louvre branches, the Louvre Abu Dhabi was created through a 30-year partnership between France and the UAE, enabling exhibitions and loans from 17 French museums.

The museum’s floating dome is supported by four hidden piers, each 10 meters wide and extending 30 meters below sea level, supporting its intricate lattice design.

The dome’s geometric design doubles as a giant mashrabiya, filtering sunlight through 8,000 metallic stars to create the ever-changing “Rain of Light” across the galleries.

Louvre Abu Dhabi is just the first phase of a larger cultural development project on Saadiyat Island.

The museum houses the Ur-III Tablet, a clay record from around 3700 BCE and the world’s oldest known cuneiform tablet, detailing everyday trade in grain, fish, and oil.

Why visit Louvre Abu Dhabi?

A glimpse into global art

The Louvre Abu Dhabi goes beyond famous masterpieces, showcasing Islamic art, intricate Qur’ans, Iznik ceramics, African masks, and works from cultures around the world.

From pharaohs to first words

Step back 13,000 years through artifacts ranging from Egyptian mummies and ancient manuscripts to the world’s oldest known cuneiform tablet.

Art housed within art

More than a museum, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a work of art, designed by Jean Nouvel and crowned by a shimmering dome that creates the iconic “Rain of Light” effect.

Highlights

Louvre Abu Dhabi galleries

Louvre Abu Dhabi presents a chronological journey of human creativity, showing how shared ideas shaped art from prehistory to today. Its four wings explore early villages and empires, the rise of religions and trade routes, global cultural exchanges, and the modern world.

Children’s Museum & exhibitions

The Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Children’s Museum, currently closed, will reopen in summer 2026. When open, it offers interactive exhibits that spark creativity and exploration for kids, including hands-on activities like the space-themed Picturing the Cosmos.

Activities & programs

Explore Louvre Abu Dhabi with Art History Walks, discovering treasures from ancient mummies and cuneiform tablets to Islamic ceramics and European paintings. Join seasonal workshops to draw, paint, and get creative, inspired by the museum’s world-class collections.

Main Entrance

This is the primary access point for most visitors arriving on foot, by taxi, bus, or car. Tickets are checked here before entering the museum galleries, temporary exhibitions, Children’s Museum, Forum, Dome and other indoor spaces.

There’s a dedicated entrance at the North Gate for visitors heading straight to Fouquet’s Abu Dhabi restaurant.
