Situated on Saadiyat Island, the art museum will extend its opening hours on May 18, allowing UAE residents to enter at no cost upon presenting a photo ID at the ticket counter.
The galleries and ongoing exhibitions will remain open to the public until 8:30 PM on that day, with the iconic dome structure and on-site eateries operating until midnight.
International Museum Day serves as a global observance to underscore the role of museums in fostering mutual understanding among communities.
Louvre Abu Dhabi intends to mark this annual event by inviting residents to explore its collections without charge.
The extended opening hours aim to provide more residents with the opportunity to discover the museum’s permanent galleries and temporary exhibitions housed beneath its innovative dome.
