Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Modern art museum in Saadiyat Island, United Arab Emirates
The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi features curved titanium walls and glass structures, creating geometric patterns across its 42,000-square-meter exhibition space.
The project began in 2006 through an agreement between Abu Dhabi and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, marking the largest expansion of the museum network.
The museum will display modern and contemporary artworks from West Asia, North Africa, and South Asia, representing regional artistic movements and global perspectives.
The museum provides designated parking areas, multiple entry points, and specialized facilities for visitors with reduced mobility throughout the exhibition spaces.
Frank Gehry designed clustered galleries connected by elevated walkways, incorporating natural ventilation methods inspired by traditional Middle Eastern architecture.
