In March 2007, the UAE and France signed an agreement to build an art museum and use the Louvre name until 2037. Located on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the museum is approximately 24,000 square meters, with 8,000 square meters of galleries, making it the largest art museum in the Arabian peninsula. Artworks from around the world are showcased at the museum, with the stated intent to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western art.
This is one of those museums that put so much effort into having a unique architectural design. Just looking at the building's exterior and exploring the interior already gives me a whole new exciting experience. For me, the highlight would be spending the day under the dome, watching the sunlight rays penetrates through the random gaps on the dome's roof and move as time goes on. It reminded me of what Richard Meier quoted "Architecture which enters into a symbiosis with light does not merely create form in light, by day and at night, but allow light to become form." Enjoy!
Thank you for traveling with me!

Wow que bonito lugar, me encanto el techo y cómo entran los rayos de luces
Gracias @xerox94 . Sí, el techo es lo más destacado del edificio!
I've heard a lot about the Louvre museum in Abu Dhabi, I only got to visit the Louvre in France, which by the way is huge, you don't get one day to visit it all, but I really want to visit the Louvre in Abu Dhabi.
I would have been delighted to see even more pictures from inside, to see how far innovation and science can go.
Have a peaceful Sunday.
Thank you @triplug . I also visited the Louvre Paris, and yes, you are right, it needs a few visits to cover most of the exhibitions. Louvre Paris is definitely larger in size. To me, the interesting part was the element of surprise when I visited Louvre AD, because simply the building very stands out and looks like out of this world. In comparison, Louvre Paris has a very historical design that blends in well with the city; thus, it's kind of expected.

Thank you @belug ! You too should visit someday, perhaps wait till 2025 because Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will be open which located not far from Louvre.
One of my top list mystical place on earth 🌍. I am from Asia, Cambodia. That is what I have imagined. The city there with a modern style are beautiful, very developed and built at a fast pace. I am not sure if I can adapt to the temperature in this country, but I really love to spend one day in my life at there.
Thank you @mich.brmey , you might plan to visit some day. I also heard there many beautiful and ancient places in Cambodia as well :)
