The USD 1 bn Louvre Abu Dhabi is set to open on 11 November with more than 600 pieces for its permanent collection and 300 on loan from Paris, reports Bloomberg. The museum has been ten years in the making and the results look like they will be breathtaking with 23 permanent galleries set to display. The collection will vary from historical pieces from across the ancient world such as the statue of Rameses II to expressionist and surrealist masterpieces from the likes of Vincent Van Gogh. The New York Times also has coverage, and you can check out the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s website here.
