Louvre Abu Dhabi Tickets

The building would be worth the trip on its own. Jean Nouvel’s dome is made of nearly eight thousand metal stars layered so sunlight falls through in a shifting pattern the museum calls a rain of light. Inside, the collection is arranged by chronology rather than by nation, so a Chinese bronze sits near a Greek bust from the same century and the comparison does the teaching. Two hours covers it. Four lets you sit on the waterfront terraces afterwards, which is the better plan.
