Abstract

The aim of the article is to show the history and the context of the creation of a new universal museum – the Louvre Abu Dhabi, designed by the architecture studio of Jean Nouvel and inaugurated in 2017. This building – starting from the genesis of its creation, the method of building the collection and the scheme of functioning, and ending with the spectacular form crowned with a monumental dome – is an exceptional undertaking on a global scale. It is a museum that illustrates the history of societies from different parts of the world through art. This unique project is analyzed not only in the local context, but also in a wider, global context, taking into account selected works of architecture and art. The presented material can be an inspiration and a starting point for further studies on shaping modern museum spaces presenting comprehensive exhibitions in various fields of art, styles and eras.
