The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art museum on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, built under a 2007 agreement between the UAE and France that allows it to use the Louvre name until 2047 and that the Louvre has called France's largest cultural project abroad. At about 24,000 square meters, including 8,000 square meters of gallery space, it is the largest art museum in the Arabian Peninsula, showing artworks from around the world with the stated aim of bridging Eastern and Western art, and is one of the first completed projects of the planned Saadiyat Cultural District.
