Not very big as I’ve expected. I want to see more Arabic art here, not European. But it easy to find it . And it cheaper to buy tickets online)

We were on the tour - I really liked it! The building itself is modern, of an unusual shape, but inside it is spacious, somehow cozy and, despite the large number of visitors, spacious, convenient to look at. I was pleased that the exposition is constantly changing, with entire collections. And the collections themselves are very competently compiled - from prehistoric times to the Impressionists, several exhibits from different regions. During our visit, there were just those masterpieces that I love))): Fayum portraits, Hokusai "Big Wave", several medieval paintings, the Order of the Golden Fleece, samurai armor, Egyptian statues. I recommend it!

Ohhhh! I liked it! Very!!! There are only 12 halls.., from ancient civilizations to modern art! As far as I remember, the works (exposition) were leased from the original Louvre for 25 years, as well as the name)) Yes, let's have one painting by each of the outstanding Masters, but you don't get tired, you absorb every masterpiece, you pass it through yourself! You come out so full 🫶🫶🫶🙏😍 Kandinsky, Chagall, Manet, Monet, Gauguin, Matisse .., you can just spend an hour at each painting, BUT the main thing is of course Leonardo da Vinci "John the Baptist" ❤️ I can only compare with the Lady with the Ermine in Krakow and the Birth of Venus in the Uffizi 🙏 I would even advise not to read anything, see, get into it, remember your emotions and only then read the plot, the creation process and the meaning .., I recommend 💯

A very beautiful place, unusually designed, amazing sea views. I don't know much about art, but I visited the art gallery with great pleasure! It is a pity that the tour does not allocate a lot of time for excursions, due to restrictions and haste, not all exhibits can be carefully examined. Be sure to visit, I recommend it! A bright spot of Europe on a beautiful Arab land!

A very interesting place, I advise you to visit. The building seems to be immersed in water and inside in many places you can enjoy the coolness of the water. The exposition is not heavily loaded, but the space is well organized. There are many sofas and places to relax with a beautiful view of the bay. There is an online audio guide in Russian. At the end of the exhibition, there are additional exhibitions in the courtyard, do not forget to enter them, especially Mars for children. A very pleasant two-storey veranda with a cafe, a bar with music on top, an express dining room downstairs. Several more museums are being built nearby. I hope to get into them.

A wonderful gallery! I attended with children aged 10 and 15. Everyone liked it. There are many different exhibits. There are a lot of people on weekends, you need to go on weekdays (as well as to any attractions in the Emirates). It was especially nice to find the children's section in the Louvre. Children go through interesting tasks, studying cosmic phenomena. After passing, a diploma is sent to the post office.

Louvre in the desert))
There is a branch of the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, where the building itself is an incredibly beautiful and stylish exhibit.
A huge openwork dome over the sea is fantastic!
The dome is made of 8000 parts - this design diffuses sunlight, creates protection and at the same time illuminates the room.
There is a trunk in the center, I had a strong association with the crown of a giant tree!
It's very impressive)
And Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne, Renoir and Monet - for me 🔥 (apparently I went to Art School for 11 years for a reason;))
I soooo liked it!
And temporary exhibitions about the creation of fairy tales and myths of the peoples of the world are wonderful!!!
I advise everyone)

It is beautiful, interesting, there are audio tours, there are not many exhibits, but there are originals. Clean, air conditioning, toilets and friendly staff everywhere. 4 stars for a jamb with signs- if you go by yourself, it's not very clear where to go and we regularly turned in the wrong direction and asked for directions. It is worth going at least because of the architecture of the dome- it is interesting

The museum is simply amazing — the architecture is fascinating, and the art collection is very diverse. I enjoyed walking around the halls and looking at exhibits from different cultures. The atmosphere is calm, which allows you to enjoy the art. If you love art, you should definitely visit this museum! I was delighted!

First, the pros: a very modern and comfortable museum building, conducive to the enjoyment of works of art. Excellent air conditioning, it seemed to me, even some kind of fragrance in the air. High-minded people, free access to objects, and the absence of annoying museum staff. Cons: a very strange set of works. Lack of representation by subject, time, or other principle. A persistent feeling that they were assembled according to the principle-dishes to dishes, paintings to paintings. But the museum is very young, it has potential. I recommend you to visit.

An interesting place. The building itself is really impressive, the stunning dome and the locations under it, but this is a shell, the internal content in my opinion, unlike the Louvre in France, is very limited. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is more like a theme park for tourists, there are almost no masterpieces of world art here, in 3 hours you can walk around the whole slowly. According to the guide, the exhibits change every six months. In general, the place deserves attention and respect. Thank you for your time.

The Louvre in Abu Dhabi is an amazing museum with a rich collection of art: real masterpieces of sculpture, paintings, dishes, frescoes. The museum is worth visiting for all art lovers and connoisseurs! You need to put in about 4 hours for a visit. The museum has free Wi-Fi and an audio guide. It is very convenient and interesting. The French living room has become my favorite exhibit for me personally. The museum has a lot of interactive content, temporary exhibitions and an exciting children's museum (I have not seen such solutions for demonstrating art in any museum - it is really fascinating and innovative)

The architecture of the building is very interesting, everything is very geometric, plus the combination with water makes this museum special. There are few exhibits, but enough space is given to each one, which allows you to walk calmly from one exhibit to another, concentrating on a single subject.

A stunning museum, with a large collection of authentic works of art. There is wifi and audio guides. There are a lot of visitors, but everything is so well designed that the crowd is not felt. The original design of the building, the territory on the street, there is a descent to the turtles.

Emirates . Abu Dhabi .
And yes, friends, there is a real Louvre in the Emirates.
How did it happen?
Abu Dhabi is a legendary museum that has become a point of attraction for fans of history, architecture and painting from all over the world.
It became an art museum in Abu Dhabi,
a branch of the Louvre in Paris. Really.
The Louvre in Paris has sold the United Arab Emirates the right to use its name in a future branch of the museum for 400 million euros.
The total cost of building a branch in Abu Dhabi is estimated at one billion euros. The agreement on the creation of a new museum was signed on March 6, 2007 in the capital of the UAE, the France Presse news agency reported.
The museum was opened in 2017 after long negotiations and huge investments.
The collection of the Louvre Abu Dhabi includes exhibits from various eras and civilizations, including paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gogh, Manet, Bellini.
The museum building is a synthesis of European and Arab traditions: it has an openwork glass dome, snow-white walls and geometric channels with water.
You walk around the museum as if in some kind of fantastic space, You can stay here all day and come back the next day.
When you leave the museum , this incredible openwork roof and the realization that the museum stands on water . Everything is unusual ! Achievements of science and implementation into reality .
The Louvre Museum is located in Abu Dhabi on the island of Saadiyat in the Persian Gulf.
You can get here by car in 10 minutes from the center of Abu Dhabi or by bus 94. We took a taxi,
To rent an audio guide (25 drx), we did not meet in Russian, but if you need another language, take with you an identity document (for collateral).
Admission is free for children under 13 years old.
Enjoy. I wish you a pleasant time.

We were there several times, beautifully, without a crowd. You can safely consider and analyze everything. I really liked the exposition on children's fairy tales. Including old Fairy Tale Books. In general, the Louvre is very interesting in the truest sense!
The cafe is inside, on 3. We ordered a croissant, but it never came :)) They forgot.

The Louvre in Abu Dhabi is amazing, as is everything in general in the Emirates. The unique roof of the building immediately sets you up for the beautiful and sublime.
We visited only the part devoted to ancient culture, and it was impressive. We just managed to see a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, John the Baptist, which will soon return home.
In addition, any exhibit is admired for its antiquity, grace, beauty, age of creation, etc.
Unfortunately, this time we were not able to see all the expositions. I hope to visit it again someday.
I advise everyone to visit the Louvre in Abu Dhabi and see with their own eyes all the beauty that is collected there.

I was here in September 2024 on a guided tour. This is the "youngest" Louvre museum complex in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE (opened in 2017). The building itself is very interesting, it looks like a huge turtle with an openwork dome roof. The idea of the exhibition is the development of art and humanity from ancient civilizations to modern art. Here you can see real masterpieces of different eras and civilizations from Persia, ancient Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire, etc. Unique paintings by great masters - Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Giovanni Bellini, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Magritte, Chagall, etc.. I highly recommend this museum to art lovers and connoisseurs!! The unique works of art presented and the building itself will not leave you indifferent 😍

The building itself and the exposition are magnificent🔥
Modern architecture, unlike anything else: the art of straight lines under an openwork dome, a combination of white-gray with blue waters of pools and the sky.
13 halls. At first it seems that the exposition is sparse, the halls are half empty. But then you realize that everything is exactly as it should be, so as not to overload with information and present each exhibit in the best possible light. The collection is very diverse: sculptures, ceramics, sacred writings, paintings, tapestries, porcelain, from antiquity to the present. Monet and Manet (like a cruel joke, their paintings hang side by side), Chagall, Picasso, Kandinsky, Renoir. There are very cool interactive panels in each hall telling about each exhibit. There is a separate museum for children, a cafe, and a gift shop. Huge parking lot. I recommend taking 4 hours to visit. The Louvre deserves it.
P.S. I almost forgot: tickets for two cost $ 40.

A wonderful exposition of different eras, different continents, different peoples, reflecting everyday objects, worship, architecture, interiors, books, maps, paintings, etc. Among the disadvantages, the minimum number of signs, the directions of viewing the exhibition, you can get carried away with getting acquainted with the exhibits of a certain hall, and in the future spend a little time searching for a transition to another place.

Clean, spacious.
But it's simple, although it's worth visiting for show. I liked that some sculptures had replicas that can be touched, separately the material from which they are made.
There is a space for children to play.

A new interesting building, made in a very original and beautiful way. There are many water channels and a huge openwork dome, around the sounds and singing of birds: this allows you to create the feeling that the museum is located in the open air in the open sea)

A stylish, beautiful and modern museum. It is worth coming here even for the sake of the building itself to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful views. Be sure to download the Louvre app, so it will be easier to navigate and read or listen about the exhibits in your native language. The Louvre cafe is very expensive, I think that cafes at museums should have more loyal prices. The souvenir shop is also very expensive, we looked at it and left, although we planned to take something there as a souvenir. I was very impressed by the children's Louvre. In modern museums, it is customary to pay attention to children's development, respect for this! The game "Mars" was also impressed, the child was delighted!

A beautiful place on the shore of the bay, large halls and a location! The exhibition is not expressive, there is no sense and historical epochs, a set of objects and things! You can see one painting by Monet and a couple of Rodin sculptures, everything else in passing!

A wonderful place! I recommend it!
13 halls! 13!!!
The most diverse: paintings, sculptures, carpets, mummies, rooms...at the end, go out into the courtyard of the Louvre with its gorgeous roof and a view of the bay
+ free luggage storage, we leave our suitcases, backpacks and go for a walk
+ free audio guide, download the program by QR code and walk at your own pace, listen to stories about each exhibit
+ leather sofas with chargers everywhere
+ there is also a cafe and a souvenir shop
There is a nice park nearby, the embankment is cool, and there is also a bus stop nearby
...you can Google, look for a free bus to the Louvre, there is definitely one, depending on where you start from....we arrived on the free bus Dubai-Louvre and goes back..
The price of a ticket to the Louvre is $ 18, it's worth it.

We visited the Louvre on the island of Saadiyat Emirates during a tour of Abu Dhabi. It is the first multicultural museum in the Arab world. The Louvre collection includes exhibits from various eras and civilizations, including paintings by Leonardo da Vinci ("Savior of the World"), Picasso, Gauguin, Manet, Magritte, Bellini, Chagall..
I am absolutely delighted with what I have seen. Of course, they passed strict control, the frame, the bags were translucent, even water could not be carried. There was only 1.5 hours of time. It is critically small to carefully inspect the expositions. The halls seem confusing the first time. While you look, while you read through the "translator" the title, the author.. The guide does not accompany you around the museum, only tells you during the trip.
Wonderful impressions of touching great authors. Must-visit!

This is a masterpiece!!! It's a great place. I must say it won't be interesting for the little ones. It is necessary to visit if museums are not boring!!! I was delighted to see the originals of world art. There is a free transfer to the Louvre, the Palace and back to Dubai at the Emirates Mall.

A gift shop, there is also a place to eat! A great place, it will be interesting for everyone

The architectural design is fascinating: the Louvre stands on the water like an alien ship. The combination of a lace dome and snow-white cubes is a delight. The exposition is rich, from the most ancient civilizations to modern art. Da Vinci, Renoir, Chagall, Babylon, Japan, Mesopotamia, Greece..

Музей - образец для подражания. Пример, как надо строить и организовывать. Стоит посетить всем. Очень красивое здание, сочетание с водой. Черепахи плавают. Коллекция: это совсем не Эрмитаж. С миру по нитке. Второй раз вряд ли пойдёшь: экспозицию видел, выставки разве только, но выставочное пространство небольшое. Выставлено всё очень интересно, смотреть комфортно - нет толп. К картине Да Винчи можно спокойно подойти, стоять сколько хочешь. Вай-фай есть. Скачали приложение Лувра, там на русском разные аудио экскурсии. Чудесно прослушали. Много мест для сидения, просторно. Детский музей есть. Туалет хороший: двери в кабинки как эвакуационные выходы, чтобы мыло потекло - надо сдвинуть диск от себя.
Остались только положительные впечатления

A wonderful museum, a very pleasant space, modern design, lots of space. The exposition is interesting, there are many different eras, trends, both in painting and sculpture, there are interesting and recognizable works of great creators. It is better to download the audio guide and you can walk on your own. Tickets can be bought online or on the spot, there will be no difference in price. Children are free of charge. There is also an interesting space museum for children, very interactive and informative (in English, French or Arabic). A place worth visiting.

Rating 5 is not due to the richness of the exposition, but because well done people in the UAE, try, do expensive and high-quality, bring from different countries, place comfortably from the point of view of visitors, there are audio guides, spaces for children, navigation, cafes.... In general, everything is for people, and this is valuable!
