More than 600 artworks from around the world will go on display at the Louvre’s gallery in Abu Dhabi on Nov 11, a project that hopes to draw millions of visitors a year to the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The waterfront gallery will display pieces from pre-history to the contemporary era. Besides Middle Eastern artifacts and paintings, it will include works by artists such as Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, and Cy Twombly.
