Overview

Booking tickets to the Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi opens the door to a fascinating journey through the world’s civilizations, cultural heritage, and historical evolution. Spanning an impressive 65,000 square feet, this \$650 million cultural landmark houses a remarkable collection of both modern and ancient exhibits. A significant portion of the museum is reserved for permanent installations, many of which have been generously loaned by world-renowned institutions such as the Musée du Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Centre Pompidou.

The museum also offers an interactive and educational zone specifically designed for children, making it a family-friendly destination. Additionally, 20,000 square meters of space is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, ensuring that returning visitors always have something new to discover.

Beyond its rich collection of artworks, the architecture itself is a masterpiece. The iconic dome, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, creates a breathtaking “Rain of Light” effect—allowing soft beams of sunlight to filter through in a display of light and shadow.
