The world is watchingthe Louvre Abu Dhabi,which was originally scheduled to open in 2012, but construction has been delayed repeatedly and no definite date has been set yet. However, according toLonely Planet, there is a chance it may be completed in 2016.
In the Middle East, especially in oil-rich countries, having novel architecture is not anything new. But the Louvre Abu Dhabi is somewhat special—it positions itself as a museum that “promotes dialogue between cultures,” and its close ties—and controversies—with the Louvre in France have captured global attention.
The latest update on the construction progress is that the temporary walls have been removed, and the waters of the Arabian Gulf now meet the building. Its opening is just around the corner, and for art-loving travelers, this will be an important destination.
