I had issues when I tried to download the tickets from the website. The downloaded file were corrupted and not readable pdf files. I tried on IOS and Android mobile phones without success. Fortunatly our bookings were recorded and we were able to get them from the desk.

It was easy to pay for my tickets online. The problem came after as they were not sent to me for an hour. I had to contact live chat to get them sent as we were planning to go that day.

I was disappointed that took so long to receive my tickets after purchasing them. In other hand, customer support was very efficient to solve the issue when contacted.

Immerse yourself in a unique perspective, discovering the museum's allure and history.

Museum galleries

The 12 museum galleries are chronologically arranged in an inspiring manner, narrating the story of humanity with an artistic filter. Through an incredible collection of art installations, each of these 12 chapters unveils commonalities that have existed throughout the history of humanity.

Exhibitions

Louvre hosts 4 temporary exhibitions every year. These exhibitions are the result of a unique collaboration between Abu Dhabi and France. In partnership with 13 French Museum partners, Louvre Abu Dhabi will bring together exemplary art for visitors to the Middle East.

'Post-Impressionism: Beyond Appearances' (October 16, 2024, to February 9, 2025) explores the revolutionary artistic shift between 1886 and 1905. The exhibition features over 100 works from artists like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Seurat, who broke away from Impressionism's naturalism. Highlights include Van Gogh’s Bedroom at Arles, a vivid example of his expressive color techniques. Curated in collaboration with the Musée d'Orsay, this exhibition traces the evolution of post-impressionism into movements like Fauvism and Cubism.

However small it may be, grab a souvenir from the snug boutique shop on your way out to cherish this visit to the first Arabian Universal Museum.

Restaurant and cafe

Rest your tired legs and contemplate the art you just witnessed over coffee and a plate of sumptuous bites before you leave the premises. The eateries are designed by Jean Nouvel himself and are nothing short of extraordinary.
