-Pierre Loti,

“A welcoming world serenely combining light and shadow, reflection and calm. It aims to belong to a country, to its history, to its geography – without being a simple interpretation. And emphasise a fascination with unusual discoveries.”
-Louvre Abu Dhabi architect Jean Nouvel
"A symphony in concrete, water and the subtle play of reflected light, [the Louvre Abu Dhabi's] design was inspired by the region’s rich architectural traditions and the museum’s unique location at the point where the Arabian sky meets the sands of Saadiyat Island and the waters of the Arabian Gulf."
-Louvre Abu Dhabi curatorial
