Louvre Abu Dhabi The Complete Guide

Louvre Abu Dhabi: The Complete Guide by Jean-François Charnier is the authoritative companion to one of the most significant and architecturally extraordinary museum projects of the twenty-first century — the branch of the Louvre opened in Abu Dhabi in 2017, designed by Jean Nouvel beneath its spectacular perforated dome that filters the Gulf light into a rain of stars. Charnier presents the museum’s extraordinary collection — spanning world civilisations from antiquity to the present — alongside documentation of the building itself and essays on the cultural and political significance of a project that sought to make the great collections of Western art dialogue with the civilisations of the Islamic world and beyond. Published by the Louvre Abu Dhabi, this is essential for museum enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in the global circulation of culture.
