Louvre Abu Dhabi

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art museum located on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The 24,000-square-meter (260,000-square-foot) structure has a "floating dome" design made of 7,850 aluminium stars of varying sizes, which tessellate over eight layers to create a perforated roof that allows sunlight through to the spaces below. It uses the Louvre name through an agreement with France and has a stated intent to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western art.
