The Louvre, Abu Dhabi—Jean Nouvel’s Dome In The Desert Transcends The Cultural Divide The powers that be in Abu Dhabi have long since realized that their extraordinary oil-fueled expansion will eventually require a solid economic back-up from a source other than the black gold beneath their sands. As in Dubai, it appears they are determined to plug any potential holes in their long-term financial plan with the banknotes of tourists and foreign corporations… and cultural assets form the next phase of their strategy. To this end, a trio of museums have been slated for the city’s cultural district, each with a predictably recognizable architectural orchestrator: Norman Foster’s Zayed National Museum and Frank Gehry’s new Guggenheim are both on their way, despite misgivings in the art community over the welfare of foreign laborers constructing the latter museum. First, though, I cast my beady eye over Jean Nouvel’s new Louvre Museum, the first branch of the famous French institution outside of Paris.
