The Arab Louvre spent 5 billion yuan in 10 years to display precious Chinese porcelain relics for the first time
The Louvre in an Arab country?Yes, the Louvre is the first museum in an Arab country.
Since 2007, Abu Dhabi** has been considering leasing the trademark of the Louvre (Lamburo) in France, which ended up being paid US$525 million (34.).800 million yuan) bought the rights to the "Louvre" (l**eurs) for 30 years. The luxury of the Arabs does not stop there!
Abu Dhabi is the largest of the United Arab Emirates, with the largest GDP and social order in the world. Since shifting its industry to tourism in 2002, Abu Dhabi has shown its shortcomings in not having a decent museum in the country, even in the Arab region. As a result, Abu Dhabi intends to transform Saadiyat Island into a unique new and unique place with unique cultural and tourist characteristics, with an estimated investment of $27 billion.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island was the first museum to be built and opened to the public. From 2007 to 2009, the Abu Dhabi authorities suffered a series of "blows", neither the French nor other painters had a good opinion of it, not only because it was very difficult to design and build, but also because the French officials thought that the Louvre (Louvre) in Abu Dhabi was too funny, but in the end, they were "conquered" by its courage.
Judging by the official information of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the scale of this building is the largest in Abu Dhabi and the largest in the entire Arab region.
A total of 7,850 aluminium domes of various sizes are used throughout the exhibition hall, and there are eight holes in the ceiling, but they do not hinder the sunlight and give it a dreamlike feeling.
More than 300 water conservancy experts have joined hands to build an undersea basement, coupled with moisture and moisture protection, so that visitors can have the same viewing experience as the Ocean Art Museum, and at the same time, it can also play a role in protecting cultural relics and preventing moisture erosion. With more than 630 patents, it can be called the most advanced and contemporary art museum in the world.
The German side sent 700 workers, it took five years to finally complete the completion of the dome structure, even the Germans said that this is a very difficult project, originally planned to invest 600 million euros, but for various reasons, in the end it was not completed, according to German engineers, the cost of the dome building, at least 650 million euros.
However, this fund does not include the rental of exhibits and exhibition costs, and Zabu Dhabi also signed a contract with the Louvre Museum in France for 777777 million US dollars (about 49.).$500 million) for the exhibition of artworks borrowed from France. At this time, the welcome hall of the Louvre in France was also being renovated, so there was a joke that "the Louvre moved to Abu Dhabi".
From November 8th, the first exhibition hall will be open to visitors from all over the world. On the 11th, a new gallery was added to the gallery, which included Chinese porcelain, Iraqi sculpture, the Palace of Versailles, and paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh in the Louvre. More than 300 exhibits have been loaned out from museums across France alone, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi plans to house thousands of permanent collections here, with an average of more than 2,500 exhibits on display every day.
Advance tickets on the first day sold out in just one hour, and among the approximately 800 invited visitors were the French couple, the first Louvre in an Arab country. Now, the Louvre in Abu Dhabi has been closed, and only after 9 p.m. can security checks be carried out in an area of several hundred square meters around it, where there are thousands of infrared cameras.
If you are interested, you can come and visit, I think you will think it is very good, because a museum with a cost of more than 1.3 million yuan is one of the few in the world!
