Under the dome, a photo from Abu Dhabi, West

Photographer's Note

Another picture from Abu Dhabi Louvre.

Som very big sums of money (from Wikipedia): The museum is part of a thirty-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. The museum is located on the Saadiyat Island Cultural District. It is approximately 24,000 square metres in size, with 8,000 square metres of galleries, making it the largest art museum in the Arabian peninsula. The final cost of the construction is about €600 million. In addition, US$525 million was paid by Abu Dhabi to be associated with the Louvre name, and an additional US$747 million will be paid in exchange for art loans, special exhibitions and management advice.

Artworks from around the world are showcased at the museum, with particular focus placed upon bridging the gap between Eastern and Western art.

The money spent on this museum is indeed phenomenal; but the result, by what you show us seems to be up to the task!
the second point that I note is also the size of the building itself; there with some people who scale the space, it is immense!

Hello Malgo,

This is an immense and very beautiful building. I cannot help but suppose that if there were hundreds of people visiting, it would not look busy!
The spots of light have an interesting way of breaking up the rigid lines of the walls and will be constantly changing throughout the day, like fluid art.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Malgo,
often I like museums not only for the art they display, but even more for the art of their architecture. Your photo shows a room I sure would admire! Must be very relaxing to sit on the steps after a walk through the exhibitions.
Kind regards,
Elvira

Hello Malgo,
This photo must have been a bit difficult with these strong contrast of dark and bright areas. But you handled it very well and captured the fine waves of the "flooded floor". It's amazing to see the sea coming into a museum like this. It must be a unique design. Considering the sometimes hysterical habits of selfie takers I imagine some accidents could happen here. Maybe the water is not very deep. Nice photos in the WS too.
I will have one WS and a link in my next upload. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,

You have captured well the ripples on the water. The point of view is showing the details of this section of the museum. I like the effect of the light on the walls. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo
It seems that the architect wanted to design a museum here that does not need the art of others. The building as a museum of its own.
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Ciao Malgo,

Un superbe musée qui vaut à lui seul une visite même si on ne s'attarde pas aux oeuvres exposées, mais à l'architecture des plus révolutionnaire.

Amicalement

Hello Malgo,
Wow, this room is huge, the people in the foreground give a great sense of scale, which is really necessary to understand how big it is. The patterns that the dome creates are very appealing as well and also the water is a surprising element.

Hello Malgo,
This interior is so futuristic. The different levels, the light and shadows, and the water all come together perfectly. In this shot, the two people standing in the foreground add the perfect human touch, too.

aliabazari (18418) 2020-01-20 22:35

Hi Malgorzata
You have a beautiful view of the museum. The resolution and exposure are well done. Thanks for sharing

Hi Malgorzata
A fantastic capture within this spacious museum showing an incredible gathering of line, filtering light from the roof, shapes, shadows and reflections in this piece of architecture.
Human is another vital component well included and blended superbly together. A keen observation and photographed, Congrats.
Best regards

malgo

a special interior, I guess it is unusual, looks like being under a tree with the holes of light breaking the shade. very nice.]
take care

Hello Malgo,
I like the light spots "leaking" through the roof. Time will tell whether this was money well spent or wasted. 👍🏻👍🏻
Regards,
MT

Hello, that impressive museum contains pools. The roof filters the light and it creates a subdued atmosphere inside the building. The visitors can appreciate the avant garde architecture too. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
