The Louvre “version On The Sea” In Abu Dhabi
The Louvre Abu Dhabi (LAD) is considered the "general museum in the Arab world" officially opened in mid-November 2017. After nearly 8 years of construction, at last, the human art world was able to admire the works worth over 600 million euros, along with more than 300 works borrowed from French museums.
The Louvre "version on the sea" in Abu Dhabi
Louvre Museum "version on the sea" is located in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) designed by French architect Jean Nouvel with exhibition space up to 9,200m². A temporary foundation has been built under the sea since 2009 for this project, which uses more than 4,000 steel pipes and reinforced concrete.
This modern architectural complex was built in the middle of a desert land, on Saadiyat Island
Unique building shape looking from the sea.
At first, the project was scheduled to begin operating in 2012, however, due to various reasons, the deadline for opening the museum has been delayed
France's most famous, including the Louvre in Paris.
These 300 alternate works create conditions for Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum to organize exhibitions by thematic (painting, sculpture, archeology, precious books ...). In addition, Paris also helps Abu Dhabi to build a permanent collection of more than 300 rare works with many meanings and values in history, culture and society.
Modern structure inside
According to the executive board of Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum, at first, the museum displayed about 200 works of all kinds, most of them valuable antiques.
The Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum also gives priority to treasures of ancient or prehistoric civilizations and spends only 5% of the exhibition area to display modern art.
Among the top-valued ancient treasures in the permanent collection, for example, there is a 6th century AD Muslim Coran, a Christian Bible in the goth language ( of the Indo-European language family) dating from the 5th century and a Torah Yémen in the Jewish tradition.
The Abu Dhabi Louvre event exhibited at the same time three religious symbols that were important enough to reflect this museum's ambition: to bridge and open up dialogues between civilizations in a spirit of tolerance, open-minded and peaceful. The government of the Arab Emirates wants to build prestige on the artistic and cultural foundation to assert its difference with neighboring Qatar.
UAE leaders visit the museum.
Launched exactly 10 years ago, the initial cost of the Abu Dhabi Louvre project amounted to 600 million euros. However, the construction of this cultural population has encountered a number of problems in the way of organizing the structure as well as in terms of capital mobilization. Ultimately the Abu Dhabi Museum is still completed but nearly 4 years late than originally planned.
Visiting the Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum, visitors can also enjoy eating, watching movies and drinking coffee. The exhibits will be changed every 3 months to attract attention and announce more new valuable works that the museum collects. In the last opening ceremony, visitors could admire eighteenth century France with works by Manet, Monet, Matisse and Leonardo da Vinci.
The true "treasure" of Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum lies in works with a long history while museum directors are continuing to search and buy back around the world. Among them, there is a beautiful Buddha statue from North China, carved in white marble in mid-6th century, a gold bracelet decorated with lion head detail, crafted in Azerbaijan in Iran in the XII century BC ...
The success of this work will pave the way for many other projects, including the plan to build the Guggenheim Museum by American architect Frank Gehry and the museum of the monarch Ben Zayed family assigned to Norman Foster, the architect British monk.
