You can walk between the Louvre and the Guggenheim in this new art district

Right now, if you’d like to visit the Louvre and the Guggenheim in one day, you’d need to cross international borders.
But with Abu Dhabi’s long-awaited cultural district on Saadiyat Island nearing completion, by the end of the year, you’ll be able to walk between them.
The new cultural district will feature international outposts of the world-famous Louvre and Guggenheim museums, along with other institutions, including an immersive digital art space from teamLab and a natural history museum.
“Many places around the world have fantastic cultural institutions; many of them are much older than these. But I think the proximity of all of them is what makes this quite special,” says Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi.

The project is piloting a network of “cool paths,” which implement nature-based shading techniques, to allow visitors to navigate between the museums and cultural sites on foot, says Al Mubarak.
The multi-billion-dollar, 2.43 square kilometer museum complex is one of the largest cultural investments of its kind in the world, and its design — by “starchitects” like Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, and Norman Foster — is expected to be as much of an attraction as its artworks.
Dr Peter Magee, director of the Zayed National Museum, currently under construction, describes the district as “a constellation of stars” illuminating the region’s history, culture, and art.
The project broke ground in the mid-2000s and has not been without controversy. Human Rights Watch raised concerns about conditions for migrant workers, which were refuted by Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC), which was overseeing the project. Others have questioned whether the Unites Arab Emirates’ censorship laws are aligned with the values of the Louvre and Guggenheim.
But Abu Dhabi will be hoping the complex, which will have more than 1.7 million square feet of space across its five main institutions, will become a world-renowned tourist destination in the same way as Hong Kong’s 98-acre (40-hectare) West Kowloon Cultural District and Berlin’s 21-acre (8.6-hectare) “Museum Island.”
As several of the museums prepare to open later this year, take a look at what to do in Saadiyat Cultural District.
Abu Dhabi’s science-focused museum explores the 13.8-billion-year story of our universe, complete with a research center. When it opens later this year, the 35,000-square-meter (377,000-square-foot) museum will be the largest of its kind in the region.
Its star attraction is Stan, the world’s most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, which was purchased for $31.8 million in 2020. The 67-million-year-old fossil will be on display alongside the Murchison meteorite, which crash-landed in Australia in the 1960s and contains organic compounds never identified on Earth, as well as “pre-solar grains” formed before our own sun, and to date, the oldest material discovered on Earth. |
