- Louvre Abu Dhabi just opened 10 years after the project was announced in 2007. The art museum, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, cost over £1 billion to make.
Abu Dhabi is renting the name "Louvre" for 30 years andy paid France £399 million to do so.
They also loaned 300 artworks from France, which cost £571 million. Just like Paris, the museum has a Da Vinci portrait, "La Belle Ferronniere," which is also on loan.
There are more than 620 pieces and artefacts on display including Degas, Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso. There's also a Napoleon painting from Jacques-Louis David.
Only 235 pieces are from the museum's own collection. Loans come from 13 French museums like Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, and Versailles.

I toured this in March. Not normally a museum person but found it an enjoyable experience. Everything is labeled in Arabic , French , and English. Building complex itself is amazing.
Such a beautiful piece of work. Will visit it some day.
Me 2year warking
I went there last week, it was an fantastic experience. I hope to visit the Louvre Abu Dhabi again.
Woowowowowow, Spectacular this Culture museum!! It is a museum that connects us together. The beauty with this museum is that it will talk to everybody!!
That's why I missed one of one of Leonardo's greatest painting at Louvre, Paris 😔
The Louvre Abu Dhabi contains both Asian and European art. It was built with the intention to bring the East and the West closer.
Yes the Asian (Iraqi Middle Eastern) art that French looted long time ago.
Cant believe it i was there.it s really amazing
Project to boost tourism in Abu Dhabi
No shit
Mashallah mashallah
So beautiful nice video 😍
This is not about Abu Dhabi, but if the Louvre really want to promote arts, culture and history< I think it would have been more relevant to build a museum in a country that share a significant influnce or contributions to the world in terms of arts and culture, like for example India or China, Egypt, etc. Sorry, it really makes me think that this is just all about money, though I may be wrong.
TheEnlightenMe stay in France don't come to Abu Dhabi!
The problem is sorted out.
We got ourselves a hater, it must be killing you that their country is developing and they are opening their hands to the rest of the world.
Keep on hating, we working on shining even more
Of course it’s all about money, the museum is half empty all the time. It’s just another monument of idiocy, just another dick contest between the rich but stupid
@@lybrebel14 who would want to visit a place ran by hairy Muslims 😂
I has piling foundation work of this louver museum in 2013
The rented the name for 30 years?
This area I am work 1 year I am lucky man
Looks amazing
Beautiful place, . Anyone know the name of the background song ???
After 30 years what would they call it?
I was there on the first day of opening : )
ameeer3 good to know
The song, cool! Anyone?
How much the tickets per person
What's the point? Seems like a shallow hodgepodge project.
Point of what? Opening a museum?
Well, you can ask that about any other museum in the world as well, including the Louvre in Paris
What's the point... Aha!!! USE YOUR BRAINZZ.
What’s the point of anything?
The point is that its the only Louvre to be located outside of France. also the name is not Permanent. Its a rented name for 30 years. Also we signed a deal with France to build this Museum. We did not even build a museum using Louvre's name. Instead of judging the place the best thing to do before judging it is going to The Louvre yourself
Abudabi yil avideyaan
Where is the salvator mundi of leonardo?
Where's the Salvator Mundi?
399£ million for renting the name?? WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!
and now Russia is trying to make same thing with Saudi Arabia. they are trying to rent the name of Hermitage to Saudis xaxaxa
@@GreoGreo Europe is surperior. That's why.
@@GreoGreo First off we're not trying to be European. The Museum was only built to show our relations between The UAE And France
@@morestuff64058 Yeah my comment made no sense. Don't know what I was thinking. :D
Wow!
ive been!
Who came here after watching 6 Underground movie ??
😂
I live in Abu Dhabi on my yas island
The Europeans never paid something to Egypt, Iraq or Iran for using so many artifacts
My dad history is richer than the history of Emarati Bedouins
no one asked kid

I wonder what would happen to an artist like van Gogh, Rodin or Tizian who depicted the human form and female nudes in their works, according to the laws of such a Muslimic country, today.
gunther salty af 😂
Muslimic??
I'm not an English native-speaker, you little Welsh punk, I meant Muslim or Islamic, would also be ok.
It's somehow ironic since Europe is getting more Islamized.
Muslimic? What a dumbass you are
when u try so hard to be European, but you dont have human rights or free of speech
ramzi45 we don’t wanna to be European, we just care for culture + not all Europe cares for human rights or free of speech!! Many of Europe countries are racist & they don’t have the right of speech to talk against Israel or Jews otherwise they will jail you for anti Semitic!!
When you think you're sounding cool, but are so poorly informed of a country's social and political state that you end up sounding like a fool.
Elegant lol and Emaratis arent racist, you get ur salary based on your nationality
ramzi45 got salary based on your nationality not a racist !!
Racist based on race not on nationality!! Duh
Plus no one forced to work in UAE’s if they felt under racist!!
Stupid comment
when you are desperate to make a cheap unwanted comment the can't even be cared anymore..

Louvre paris is waaaaaay better than this pretentious copy.
Wow so you call this a cheap copy??
You stupid idiotic MORON, now if you would excuse me, this is museum built in the uae and is a new phase of louvre, this museum isn't a copy. It is a cultural museum and has the same looks and cultural displays, and for last GO CHECK OUT ABU DHABI BEFORE OPENING YOUR MOUTHS YOU MORONIC IGNORANTIC DISCUSTING BASTARD HATERS.
Toxic Bleach Absolutely
u should go outside ur house frst u live in the intrnet
Toxic Bleach hahaha I’m giving my own and fair opinion. Loads of money won’t give you taste . Sorry! This is a cheap copy for rich people. That ironically prefer this than going to paris .
Bit shit when you have to rely on borrowed pieces of art
Literally most museums have borrowed art
Great deal...for France. Meanwhile in Palestine and Syria..
what a waste of money and resources.
No one asked.
No one asked. This museum builds ties between West and East, located in a essential location.
Did we ask? The Museum was built to show East and West relations. Instead of Judging it how about you go to The Louvre yourself first?
It's so shit. The modern section. It consists of some very sick things that can't be imagined. In the modern section it's just some shitty unimaginable crap that you can compare to garbage. The rest is very good.
