Art; another dimension to the the beauty of humanity and it's many creations. The inspiration to many artist and art collectors is the tranquility of nature, and in the case of the Engineers at The Surreal Louvre; it is the salty waves of the Persian Gulf.

Here is a master class museum in Abu Dhabi UAE. The completion of this magnificent architectural and technological piece had been slated for 2017 with many suprises in stock.

The Surreal Louvre: as this showpiece is called is situated on the sea. To make this tiny Museum island, engineers had to run pumps for up to 6 years to drain all the water out of the cut of section of the sea to make a solid site for the structure. This was the only way to achieve the view of the surrounding water.

On completion of the mega museum, workers then waterproofed the exteriors and removed the sea walls, allowing the water to surround the Museum and this tiny fabricated island dedicated to arts showpiece was birthed.
