C'est un enjeu de civilisation : le Louvre à Abu Dhabi, notre culture, la culture mondiale, la culture classique, Rodin, notre architecture futuriste, (enfin celle de Jean Nouvel), en Arabie Saoudite !
Rien que cette photo fait plaisir,
c'est une révolution culturelle !

Ca donne envie de re-visiter le Louvre !
‘Birth of a Museum’
In 2007, Abu Dhabi paid 520
million just to use the name of Paris’ world famous art museum.
A model replica of the Louvre Abu
Dhabi was displayed at its parent gallery last year with a selection of what
will eventually become the Emirate’s permanent collection in an exhibition
titled “The Birth of a Museum”.
Also being loaned from France are
Titian’s The Woman with a Mirror, Jacques-Louis David’s Napoleon Crossing the
Alps and Edouard Manet’s The Fife Player.
Among artworks from antiquity
heading to Abu Dhabi are a 4,000-year-old statue of Mesopotamian ruler Gudea, a
figurine of King Ramses II from Egypt’s 19th dynasty, and a 16th century ornate
Nigerian salt seller.
Each piece will be displayed in
Abu Dhabi for up to two years, before the number of loaned French works
decreases over the course of a decade as the museum builds its own collection.
A French source told AFP that
normally-conservative Abu Dhabi had not censored any nudity or religious
symbolism that appear in the donated works.
“No work has been refused,” for a
collection that includes a Jewish Tora from Yemen, an ancient Hindu statue, a
Buddha and works evoking African Animism, the source said.
According to its creators, the
Louvre Abu Dhabi, which was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is the
largest global cultural project since New York’s Metropolitan Museum opened in
1870.
The museum, built at a cost of
500 million euros ($630 million) and set to open in December 2015, will feature
paintings and sculptures from 13 of France’s most renowned collections spanning
from pre-Bronze Age to Pop Art, it said in a statement.
“This will be the first time many of these works will travel to Abu
Dhabi or even the Middle East, and are a rare opportunity to see important art
from French museums,” said Sultan bin Tahnoon al-Nahyan, chairman of the
organisation behind the project.
The loaned works include da
Vinci’s Portrait of an Unknown Woman, Claude Monet’s Saint Lazare Station and
Andy Warhol’s Big Electric Chair, as well as ancient statues, vases and masks
from across Asia and Africa.
Many of France’s grand museums,
including the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay and the Palace of Versailles will loan art
to Abu Dhabi as part of a 30-year collaboration with the Emirate worth one
billion euros ($1.3 billion).
French Culture Minister Fleur
Pellerin said the loaning of the works was “an
acknowledgement of both the extraordinary richness of our national collections
and the expertise of our museums”.
The 64,000-square-metre
(700,000-square-foot) Louvre Abu Dhabi, built on the island of Saadiyat in the
oil-flush Emirate, will have 6,000 square metres dedicated to permanent
installations and 2,000 set aside for temporary exhibitions.
Hovering above the complex will
be a giant, 180-metre (yard) dome perforated with designs that will project
light patterns in the shape of palm trees on the exhibition space below.
Inauguration 11 novembre prochain !
