Description

This documentary recounts the architectural and cultural adventure of the construction of the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum. We take a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the universal museum, initiated by architect Jean Nouvel.

Viewers will discover how this architectural concept, which plays on the relationship between interior and exterior, in ever-changing light, provides a link between tradition and modernity, and lays down a bridge between cultures. At the crossroads of the West and the Middle East, this film also reveals the educational and cultural challenges of the making of the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
