A Leonardo da Vinci painting which clinched more than $450 million at an auction recently is on its way to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Less than a month after it opened its doors in the Capital, the "first universal museum in the Arab world" has found itself in the limelight again.
The new owner of Salvator Mundi, the Leonardo da Vinci painting that broke auction house records, has been revealed as the Saudi Arabian Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan Al Saud.
It will mark the second piece to be featured in-house at the Louvre Abu Dhabi by famed renaissance artist da Vinci. The spectacular 16th century painting which is soon to adorn the museum depicts an image of Christ, and it will sit within the same walls as the La Belle Ferronnière - the portrait of an unknown woman by da Vinci, which is currently on loan from the Louvre in Paris.
As yet, there is no confirmation on when Salvator Mundi will arrive in Abu Dhabi, but the museum did take to Twitter to announce the exciting news: "Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi is coming to #LouvreAbuDhabi," the museum tweeted.
