Hoping to bring art and culture closer to the community, the Louvre Abu Dhabi has announced a series of weekly activities for the public to join.
Running until 30th April, the weekly programmes will provide actual experiences to foster love and appreciation of the arts and local traditions.
“More than a home for our collection and international exhibitions, Louvre Abu Dhabi functions as a social space, and we hope that our new public programming will stimulate our visitors’ imagination and help facilitate lively encounters,” said Catherine Monlouis-Félicité, Director of Education and Cultural Engagement at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
