Today's World Best
Museum Experience
Louvre Abu Dhabi
Born from a cultural collaboration between France and the UAE, the Louvre Abu Dhabi brings the grandeur of the Paris original to a new, sun-drenched setting. Set on Saadiyat Island under a dome that filters light like a palm grove, the museum is a visual and architectural triumph. Its curatorial philosophy is universalist — presenting global art across civilisations and time rather than by nation. Visitors encounter ancient Egyptian sculpture beside Chinese ceramics, Renaissance masterpieces beside Islamic calligraphy. It’s a museum that tells a shared human story, blending Eastern and Western traditions in a serene, elegant space that defines modern cultural luxury.
