Find Art Experts was honored to receive a personal invitation to attend a presentation by Emirati and French representatives of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, entitled: A Unique Cross-Cultural Collaboration

Louvre Abu Dhabi was born from a unique intergovernmental agreement between the United Arab Emirates and France. The agreement embodies a vision shared by France and Abu Dhabi to develop the first universal museum in the Arab world, as described in this video by Emirati and French representatives.

As per the intergovernmental agreement, Louvre Abu Dhabi has invaluable access to expertise and training from 17 French partner institutions, as well as loans of 300 significant works from 13 leading French art museums, such as: Musee du Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, Musee Rodin, Chateau de Versailles, among many other prominent museums. These include masterpieces representing civilizations and artistic movements from significant moments in global human history, including ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, ancient Chinese dynasties, Africa, the Renaissance, and the Impressionists and Modernists. Many of these works are displayed in Abu Dhabi for the very first time, including Leonardo da Vinci’s seminal work La Belle Ferronniere on loan from Musee du Louvre, and the highly anticipated and recently acquired, Salvador Mundi, which will soon be unveiled as part of the museum’s permanent collection. #LouvreAbuDhabi #FindArtExperts #globalart
