Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Museum is expected to open its doors in 2026, according to Dr Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Adviser to the UAE President.
The cultural landmark will add to the "global oasis of creativity," with the UAE capital already housing the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Natural History Museum and the Zayed National Museum; the latter two opened to the public last year.
Frank Gehry, the architect behind the masterpiece, passed away last year, but his legacy lives on in the his largest museum project — Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
The museum will offer spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf, which will surround it on three sides. Its inventive design by award-winning architect Frank Gehry features a series of asymmetric cones that surround the main building and act as both entrances to the museum and exterior exhibition spaces.
