Louvre Abu Dhabi
Jean Nouvel designed Louvre Abu Dhabi as a small city of white galleries beneath a double dome 180 m across, through which light falls from some 8,000 metal stars. It opened on 11 November 2017 and tells the human story across civilisations rather than country by country.
Go in the morning or before sunset, when the dome's light plays on the water.
