Louvre-Abu Dhabi (Jean Nouvel, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) The Middle-eastern branch of the Louvre had several construction setbacks because of the global financial crisis, but it has been recently opened. Its curvaceous design, by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel, features a white façade overlooking the blue waters of the Arabian Gulf. It was inspired by Al Ain, which is an oasis emirate, in addition to the Islamic and Arabic architecture. The $650 million-worth museum is expected to showcase 300 art pieces from 13 important institutions in France, including the Louvre, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Musee d’Orsay. “La Belle Ferroniere” for Leonardo da Vinci, “Saint-Lazare” for Claude Monet, and “Still Life with Magnolia” for Henri Matisse, are a few examples of the key works that the museum will display. #info #EverythingsInfo
