Plans are proceeding , despite vehement opposition in France, to build a Louvre in Abu Dhabi. The building will, for want of a better word be, “unusual.”-A shallow dome that looks rather like an escapee from some low-budget 60’s science fiction movie. With geometric openings causing patterns of light to bounce around the interior, I can almost see the likes of Matisse and Van Gogh turning in their graves.
No doubt, I am not the only one to see the irony of the whole situation, and as I discussed in “Cultural Oases in Abu Dhabi part one,” the Guggenheim seems to have come to some arrangement whereby none of the works on display in their museum outpost will “offend local sensibilities,” and I wonder if the Louvre has come to the same arrangement. If so, I have the same question to pose: “Dude, like what are you gonna hang on the wall, man?”

The planned Guggenheim museum in Abu Dhabi hit the headlines again recently, with New York Magazine’s art columnist Jerry Saltz, suggesting that Thomas Krens, the director of the Guggenheim foundation is “reckless, destructive, myopic, and misguided.”
As part of their drive to convince the rest of the world of their cultural sophistication, the Abu Dhabi authorities are planning a branch of the Guggenheim museum on Saadiyat island. The museum building, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry, will dwarf Bilbao’s version, and at a planned 300,000 sq ft, will be the largest Guggenheim museum.
Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector, appears to be showing a promising future as strong demand is expected to outstrip supply over the coming years. Rental grow rates of up to 65% over the last 12 months have resulted in a very low vacancy rates of 1% which is excellent.
