Congratulations, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi!

———-
from Guggenheim New York

Our constellation of museums is growing! Guggenheim Abu Dhabi opens December 11, 2026.

Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (Guggenheim Abu Dhabi) will deepen intercultural understanding, expand perspectives, and offer new ways to engage with the art of our time. Its collection spans art from the 1960s to the present, bringing together works from every continent — uniquely local and global, rooted in the region and in dialogue with the world.

Located in the Saadiyat Cultural District (Saadiyat Cultural District), the museum designed by Frank Gehry spans 30 galleries connected by a central atrium and ten sculptural cones that articulate the building’s dynamic skyline, and expands into outdoor exhibition areas.

From New York to Venice, Bilbao, and now Abu Dhabi — four distinct museums, one constellation.

من نيويورك إلى البندقية وبلباو، والآن أبوظبي — أربعة متاحف متفردة، وكوكبة واحدة.

Event: Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.

Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise caution and heightened vigilance and should be prepared for flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions. Some airlines in the region have postponed resumption of earlier flight schedules; others have cancelled some routes. Americans in the region should consider departing, or be prepared to depart should there be escalation.
