Wonderful collection of objects and art. It's a varied and interesting exhibition. With the audio app to accompany you (take headphones), you could spend hours here. There's parking and buggies to take you to the door. There are some drink kiosks and a nice cafe (which is quite expensive) I'll be going again for sure.

100% you have to visit the museum. The museum amazed me with its architecture and unique location—the building seems to float above water, reflecting in the mirror-like surface of the Persian Gulf. The collection showcases an extraordinary mix of Eastern and Western cultures, displaying artworks from different eras and civilizations. Here, visitors can admire ancient artifacts, paintings by famous artists, sculptures, and much more. I particularly enjoyed the temporary exhibitions, which regularly change, allowing guests to discover something new each time they visit. Children will find plenty to enjoy as well—the museum offers special programs and activities designed specifically for young visitors. I strongly recommend including a visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi in your itinerary. It’s not just a museum but a genuine journey through time and space that leaves lasting impressions.

Good place for visiting. Not overcrowded. The atmosphere is so calm and quiet. Highly recommend to visit, just maybe not with kids, they can get bored.

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)

I was very impressed! One thing: it’s icecold inside so bring a scarf and/or jacket! Amazing architecture. It’s like a building from the future!

If you want to get new experiences and don't adore fine art, this place is not for you. But if you want to show your guests what kind of cultural country the UAE is, or what kind of cultural you are, go ahead.

Place is good but the wifi is very bad, they should open the wifi like in the abu dhabi airport, no need to add password.

Great place! I would even say wonderful! there is a big advantage in the fact that the museum accommodates all kinds of art: modern, old, art, sculpture, and applied. I was very impressed by the Impressionist hall. in addition to paintings, there are palettes of different artists. It is very unusual to see how the creators used them in different ways. someone's strokes are chaotic, rough, someone's are thin, light, someone's are super neat. also, the interior itself is very impressive, high ceilings, custom walls, a bay around, which gives an additional atmosphere, many benches, viewing areas, several halls. there is also a creative shop with a huge number of souvenirs, books, postcards, jewelry, ceramics, etc. one of the few museums where I would definitely return again!

Even if you've walked the length and breadth of the Louvre in Paris, you should definitely come here! Firstly, the building itself is an architectural masterpiece perfectly integrated into the landscape of the UAE capital. Secondly, the permanent exhibition itself is quite small - you can walk around all the halls, slowly, in 2 hours. This is amazing, because everything starts with exhibits created before our era and ends with modern samples themselves - I can imagine how the curators racked their brains to squeeze the vast into such a limited framework. And it seemed to me that they succeeded! There are several cafes inside, a cool restaurant and a great museum store. So, a must visit

An incredibly beautiful place, inside and out (after the main compositions in the halls, be sure to take a walk in the park). There are about 12 halls in the museum, divided in chronological order, everyone can find something interesting for themselves, I especially liked the hall of contemporary art. At the end of the tour, you can look into the courtyard of the building and admire the modern architecture. I definitely advise you to visit, it's better to take tickets to turistino, it turned out cheaper than the standard ticket price, I also liked the support, they told me how to get there faster and more conveniently.

It's a great place. Getting there by car using the navigator is quite simple. There is a large parking lot with canopies, and free shuttles run from the parking lot to the entrance to the museum. Inside there is a free Wi-Fi without registration and a quarkode application with a Russian audio guide. The exposition is small, but it is interesting to assemble and exhibit. You can also read about the concept on the Internet. It is very spacious, there are places to relax, several toilets, drinking fountains (you can not carry liquids with you, backpacks and large bags are left in the wardrobe).

Very stylish. The exhibition itself is small. everything can be completed in 1.5 hours. The coolest thing, as for me, is the application where you can find information about the exhibits in your own language. cooler than an audio guide. There is a separate beautiful photo area with a podium. We really liked the turtle rehabilitation area) and the employee who fed them spoke very movingly about the turtles, called them by name and told their little story. It is very rare to see such enthusiasm at work. By the way, the control is cooler than at the airport-they didn't let us in with a sanitizer. but things can be left for free in the luggage room. I recommend you to visit.

An amazing place, starting from the location on the water, the architecture of the building to the magnificent preservation of the exhibits. A place where you want to wander slowly, looking at the details of the exposition and listening to the descriptions. It turns out to immerse yourself in history and even feel the spirit of the times. A must for a leisurely visit. There are still options for additional reality, but we didn't have enough for that anymore.

The Louvre building has many water channels and a huge openwork dome. Because of this, it seems that the museum is located in the open air in the open sea. There are wonderful works on display, including Picasso, Kandinsky, Leonardo da Vinci, and other noteworthy works. There is also a cafe where you can just relax or admire the local scenery.

This is a new level of art! Even those who do not like museums should come here, you will be delighted with the architecture, the play of light and the atmosphere of space in general. There is so much air, halls with completely different moods, incredibly beautiful exhibits (unexpectedly a lot of valuable and really interesting). There is a free guide app with RUSSIAN voice acting). It wasn't enough for me for 3 hours, I want to come back again!)

The Louvre in Abu Dhabi is mesmerizing at the entrance. An hour and a half is very short in order to fully immerse yourself in the expositions of 12 halls. The architecture of the building is fascinating. The roof is made in the form of a turtle shell, sunlight, penetrating through the roof, leaves sunbeams. The expositions of the halls change periodically (according to the guide). There is WiFi, you can download the Louvre Abu Dhabi applications and listen to information about the exhibits in Russian.

It's a very beautiful place! A huge number of exhibits from different countries and peoples: from ancient Egypt to the UAE. There are paintings, statues, and archaeological finds. Everyone will find something to their liking. The rooms are huge and spacious. There is an unrealistically beautiful observation deck under a unique dome on the street — the views are very beautiful, on the transparent blue Persian Gulf. Some of the staff understands Russian)

A great museum! a wonderful exhibition that is changing! inside, navigation is not intuitive. It's a beautiful building and there are cool locations for photos! on the downside, the signatures of the exhibits are off to the side, it is not always clear which exhibit and which name! It is better to buy a ticket on the Abu Dhabi pass website, which is cheaper there. You'll have to leave all the bags and liquids in the wardrobe, even the hand gel!

It is an impressive museum and architectural complex where world art and local culture are harmoniously intertwined. The exhibitions are well-chosen, the theme of the Louvre brand can be traced in the choice of works and their location, which makes the visit informative and inspiring. The architecture of the building is fascinating: spacious halls, thoughtful navigation and a pleasant atmosphere for a walk. The visit time can be planned based on the queues at the entrance and the popularity of specific exhibition blocks; convenient services for families and people with special needs simplify the visit. It is also worth noting the well-organized museum cafe and souvenir shop at the exit, which complements the overall comfort.

A wonderful museum - if you take away the standard expectations🙃 (this is not a European museum with a huge centuries-old collection). The five curators, who in limited conditions, made an excellent introduction, in the form of a roll call of eastern and world cultures. Stylish, easy, and for a couple of hours on vacation is just the thing. A separate building is the museum building. I strongly advise you to take a cup of coffee in and admire the bay under the dome) I bought tickets on the website in advance, but even on a weekend morning there was almost no one at the box office.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a unique museum that opened its doors in 2017 and became the first multicultural museum in the Arab world. It is located on the picturesque island of Saadiyat, where the Arabian sky meets the waters of the gulf. Architecture and design The museum building is a real work of art. The central element is a huge silver dome weighing about 7,500 tons, consisting of 7850 stars of different sizes. This structure creates an amazing lighting effect when the sun's rays pass through it, forming a mesmerizing rain of light inside the halls. The exposition The museum's collection includes exhibits from various eras and civilizations. Among them are the works of famous masters: Leonardo da Vinci ("The Savior of the World"); Picasso; Gauguin; Manet; Magritte; Bellini. There are also artifacts from Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, as well as a rich collection of weapons and armor. Practical information Ticket price: about 63 AED. Visit time: 3-4 hours. Tip: take long—sleeve clothes with you - it's pretty cool inside. It is recommended to download the museum's app — there are audio guides and useful information. Impressions The museum impresses not only with its collection, but also with the thoughtful organization of the space. The halls are spacious and the exhibits are conveniently located. Especially worth noting is the children's section with interactive games and entertainment. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a place that is definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in art and architecture. Despite some shortcomings in the content of the collection, the museum itself leaves vivid impressions and gives unforgettable emotions.

Put in at least 3 hours for the inspection, you won't regret it. I'm not a big fan of museums, but I've enjoyed going and looking at everything here. There are from small coins to huge marble statues, from ancient Bibles and Torahs to great paintings by artists. A very diverse exhibition. Seasonal exhibitions in separate halls deserve special attention. The room has the most comfortable temperature, it is not cold. Even when there are a lot of people, there is no crowding. There are guards everywhere who can tell you a shortcut to the exit if you are tired or in a hurry to continue with the program. In general, you won't regret it. There's also a lovely restaurant overlooking the blue Bay. Mega delicious. There's also a turtle sanatorium. Very interesting!!

An interesting architectural structure surrounded by water, if you have time, you can explore it from the outside by catamaran or Boat (there is a station nearby). The air conditioners are wildly working inside, so don't dress for the beach, no matter how hot it is outside. The halls are confusing inside, so take a picture on your phone so that you don't miss some important piece of art. The collection is not bad, all the tops of world painting and sculpture are collected, but if you have been to the real Louvre, the Hermitage, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin Museum, etc. you will not be amazed. You must go! The ticket is 65 dirhams, see the working hours - several days a week they work until 20.00. The staff was attentive, several employees spoke Russian, and it was tested experimentally

It's a wonderful place. Aesthetics of the building itself + refraction of light + excellent exhibits. Hall by hall, you go through the entire history of Mankind, from the birth of protoculture to modern times. If someone has played the Civilization cycle, they will find in this museum a lot of references to what unfolds turn by turn. Highly recommend it.

The museum, of course, is not the Louvre, although most of the exhibits were brought from there (there are also works from the Musee d'Orsay, as well as, if I'm not mistaken, from the Pompidou Center). The French did not provide masterpieces of the highest level, but on the whole the exposition is quite strong and, albeit in general terms and schematically, represents the main milestones in the development of world art from ancient times to the present day. It's not a metaphor about our days, the main route is completed by halls, or rather compartments, where you can get acquainted with works in the genre (or technique) of virtual reality. One of the main tasks of the museum is clearly political: to promote the idea of common cultures and civilizations, of harmonious coexistence of people, in this case in the context of art. Therefore, the exhibits are offered in chronological order and in geographical diversity, so that African masks and Western European paintings can be easily found in one room. There are halls of the Ancient East, Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages, modern and modern times. The Russian contribution to the world heritage is represented by a single painting by V. Kandinsky. At the same time, almost an entire rather large hall is devoted to the works of Say (or Sy) Tumbley (or Twombly or Twombly). However, the authors of the expositions are in many ways similar to artists, as they see and see, and do not accept accusations of bias or narrow-mindedness. The ticket costs 65 dirhams, cheaper than the main Louvre in Paris, but significantly more expensive than the incomparably richer major Russian art museums. There is a rather intrusive security control at the entrance, bags are necessarily translucent, large ones are sent to the storage room, and water bottles will also have to be left there. The halls are spacious, the people are not crowded, they say it can be cramped only when giant cruise ships enter the port of Abu Dhabi and several thousand tourists come on a tour at the same time. Is it worth visiting the Arabian Louvre, a question that cannot be answered unequivocally. On the one hand, today it is the main museum of the Emirates. On the other hand, the place turned out to be more entertaining: a very interesting modern building, a non-stressful exposition, which, if superficially, can be completely bypassed in two or three hours. There are also leisure opportunities besides cultural ones: you can even go kayaking in the water area around the museum for an additional fee. In general, this is an alternative to seal holidays on the beach and shopping.

Admittedly, I expected something unusual from the Louvre. But in general, the gym in Moscow is at least as good. The architecture and the idea are interesting, but for some reason I was not impressed. In general, it's not bad to go once, but no more. The most amazing thing is that modern art occupies literally a couple of halls. Of the Russians, only Kandinsky. As it is, there is mostly Middle Eastern culture and Asia, Europe too, but not so much.

I was very impressed with its scale, there are many rooms with different themes (the ancient world BC, the Middle Ages, modernity, jewelry and tableware, weapons and sculptures, paintings and much more), you can take an "electronic guide" by connecting to the Internet (they offer when buying a ticket), the ticket price is 65 dirhams (we traveled by our own (on weekdays, in the morning, there were no queues)
