Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism plans to publicly showcase its extensive collection of art and artifacts, which began in 1968 under Sheikh Zayed. Thousands of pieces had mostly remained inaccessible, but now an online catalogue will be made available with opportunities for research. Key works will be displayed at museums like Louvre Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum. The initiative aims to reflect the UAE's cultural commitment and celebrate global culture, with the first major display being a significant painting by Nicolas Poussin.
The process of collecting art started off with the idea that at one point in our time, we [knew we wanted] to tell a beautiful story of our universal love for culture and art.
