Designed by the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi has 28 interior galleries connected by a central atrium and 10 large sculptural cones. The museum also includes 23,000 square metres of exterior exhibition space across its cones and terraces.
The museum covers 11,600 square metres and will feature works across painting, sculpture, installation, photography, moving image and new media.
Rather than following a strictly chronological or geographical approach, the museum says its collection and exhibitions will explore artistic connections, exchanges and lineages across different cultures and regions.
Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is being developed through a collaboration between the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
