Great experience visiting Louvre Abu Dhabi with kids! The museum is engaging for all ages, and the children especially enjoyed the interactive exhibits. There’s also a fun app and digital games designed for kids, which made the visit even more enjoyable and educational. Highly recommended for families!

As Africans, my husband and I loved visiting the African Heritage collection! It was a proud and inspiring experience to see art pieces from all over Africa, celebrating our continent’s incredible diversity and cultural richness. The collection offers a unique opportunity to connect with our roots and appreciate the vast history and creativity of African cultures. If you’re interested in exploring Africa’s vibrant heritage, I highly recommend visiting — it’s truly a memorable experience that will leave you inspired and proud of our shared heritage.

Pretty amazing place, with a decently large exhibition but what really makes the place unique is its architecture and the grilled dome light spots on the floor and walls, combined with the presence of water. All the elements convey an astonishing look of futuristic minimalism and sobriety. I couldn't stop taking pictures of everything because the effect is quite unique! Very relaxing and quiet experience.
