Louvre Abu Dhabi – A dream come true Visiting the Louvre Abu Dhabi was truly unforgettable, and the Pablo Picasso exhibition made it deeply personal for me. I want to sincerely thank the museum for giving us the rare chance to experience Picasso’s works up close. I’m honestly crazy about him—and seeing his artworks in person felt like a dream come true. The exhibition runs until 31 May 2026, and it’s an exceptional, not-to-be-missed opportunity to witness such powerful and iconic paintings gathered in one place. Moments like this don’t come around often. Beyond the exhibition, the museum itself is simply wow. From the breathtaking architecture and the play of light beneath the dome to the thoughtfully curated collections, you travel through pieces of history from all over the world. It’s a beautiful journey across ancient civilizations and cultures that really puts humanity into perspective. There’s also a lovely café with a serene seating area—perfect for a quiet pause after exploring the galleries. I wished I could capture and share every single artwork here, but that would have been impossible; each piece deserves its own moment. Without a doubt, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a must-visit—whether you’re in Abu Dhabi already or planning a trip. Put it at the very top of your list.

I go Louvre Abu Dhabi without big expectation but honestly it was mind blowing. The building itself is already art. The light coming from dome was so beautiful, like rain of light. ほんとうに幻想的。 Inside exhibition is mix of many culture and period, not only Middle East but Europe, Asia also. I like how they connect different civilization together in one story. It make me think deeper. Space is very peaceful and not too noisy. You can walk slowly and enjoy. Some rooms was little bit cold but that’s okay. If you visit Abu Dhabi, this place is must. It’s not just museum, it’s experience. I feel calm and inspired after visit. すごくおすすめ。

Louvre Abu Dhabi is one of those places where architecture alone already feels like an exhibition. Calm, elegant, and quietly powerful—it’s not just a museum you walk through, but an experience you slow down for. The galleries are beautifully curated, connecting human history across cultures and time rather than separating art by country. You’ll move from ancient civilizations to modern masterpieces in a way that feels thoughtful and surprisingly emotional. The atmosphere is peaceful, never overwhelming, making it perfect for both art lovers and casual visitors. What really steals the show is the iconic dome. Sunlight filters through it like a soft “rain of light,” constantly changing as the day goes on—standing underneath it feels almost meditative. Little facts you’ll love: • The dome is made of 8 layers of geometric patterns, creating that signature light effect. • The museum sits on the water, inspired by traditional Arabic medinas surrounded by the sea. • It’s the first universal museum in the Arab world, telling global stories instead of regional ones. • The dome weighs roughly the same as the Eiffel Tower—but floats visually like a cloud. Peaceful, inspiring, and beautifully designed. Louvre Abu Dhabi isn’t loud or flashy—it’s confident, poetic, and unforgettable.

Louvre Abu Dhabi – Architecture first, collection second Louvre Abu Dhabi is a very majestic place in terms of architecture and design. The building itself is the main attraction. The famous dome is absolutely stunning, and walking underneath it is the highlight of the visit. The artworks inside are interesting, but nothing felt truly exceptional or unforgettable. That said, everything is very well presented. The museum is beautiful, perfectly air-conditioned, and clearly designed to make the visit comfortable and accessible to the public. The visitor areas are great for photos, especially around the dome and the exterior walkways. There are several restaurants and cafés inside the museum, and more options just outside once you exit. Getting a taxi is easy, so logistics are simple. Overall, it’s worth visiting mainly for the architecture and the experience rather than the collection itself.

Highlights

  • Skip the queues & explore priceless global art from diverse cultures.

  • Witness the breathtaking 'Rain of Light' beneath the museum's iconic dome.
