The architect moved Le Louvre museum to the Emirates' door

The architect, who took the prizes of the prizes, moved Le Louvre museum to the gate of the United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates spent 7 billion 700 million yuan, borrowed more than 300 pieces of French collection, and built a "Le Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi". The Arabs play art seriously!

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. To mention the United Arab Emirates, does it feel that everyone there is a local tyrant?

Now they begin to attach importance to cultural construction and spend about 7 billion 700 million yuan to move the French "Le Louvre Museum" to his own small island.

There are also more than 300 collections of French museums, which have been designed by architects who have been awarded the prizes of the praxis Liz.

The first World Museum in Arabia was built.

In fact, it was opened five years ago, but it was not officially open until November 11th this year. The opening day of the French President Ma kelom also invited to attend.

Not long ago, there were many visitors to the museum, and on the first day, there were too many people to limit the flow.

"Tickets for RMB 120 yuan, can see so many treasures, super value! "

"The whole design is also tall, and there is a special place for children."

"The position is a bit biased, it needs to drive to the most convenient."

For 7 billion 700 million yuan, what is the first World Museum in Arabia?

The most beautiful design museum in the dome.

When the sun's light passes through the different holes in the dome, it can be reflected with the indoor waterways on the ground, like a golden rain, which is very charming.

The whole building is full of pure white color. The museum under "golden rain" is like bathed in the light of the holy light.

In the evening, the whole museum was brighter.

The beautiful design of the dome is not easy. First, look at a set of data.

And the total weight of 7500 tons (same as Paris Eiffel Tower weight).

A total of 7850 stars. The largest star is 13 meters in diameter and weighs 1.3 tons.

The Le Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi is 40 meters above the sea level and the dome is higher than 36 meters above the ground.

The difficulty of the whole building is on the steel structure of the dome. The frame up and down up to 5 meters has four layers of epidermis, with a total of eight layers.

The complex structure on the dome originates from the traditional custom of using palm leaves to be interlaced as roofing materials.

A lot of people go to the dome with the wonderful "light rain".

Complex curvilinear patterns are calculated by high precision.

But the dome does not cover the rain. But because Abu Dhabi is a tropical desert climate, the maximum rainfall is 10 times a year. So if you get caught in the rain, it's still a rare luck.

Because the building is located in the Saadiyat Island surrounded by the sea.

During the construction, the construction team had to build embankments to block the sea water. For this reason, the water pump was also pumped for six years.

Then the outside wall was removed, and the sea was flooded with the museum, and the whole museum became a fairyland in the suspended island.

And that's why the museum needs to go to the other side of the boat and go on foot by the shore. There is a feeling of landing on a fairyland island.

This is also the intention of the architect Jean Nouvel (Jean Nouvel) to design the Le Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi. "Since there are so many islands in Abu Dhabi, why can't we take one alone as the island of art? "

Jean Nouvel

Jean Nouvel, a French architect, won the highest honors of the architecture industry in the 2008, the prizes of the general Liz.

He is very good at creating novelty and local culture with steel, glass and light.

According to the China tourist experience, into a single ticket is 60 dirhams, in the online purchase, buy the site need to queue.

Why is the "Le Louvre Museum in Arabia"?

Many people wonder why the Le Louvre Museum in France will go to the United Arab Emirates.

In fact, as early as 2007, the United Arab Emirates and France signed to build the museum, and the Le Louvre Museum in Paris on loan to Paris art name.

The museum can be justifiably called "Abu Dhabi Le Louvre Museum" but spent much of the price. In the 30 years of the contract period, Abu Dhabi will pay nearly 1 billion euros (about 7 billion 700 million).

Among them, 400 million euros is used for naming the "Le Louvre Museum" in 30 years, 190 million euros for 10 years, and all kinds of art loans, temporary exhibitions and management fees.

However, the large amount of art borrowed from Le Louvre Museum has also caused some discontent with the French intellectuals.

They oppose the international loan of art, accusing the French government of tarnished art and transforming their artistic heritage into marketable goods.

There are also petitions on the Internet: "the museum is not for sale." "But this did not stop the completion of the museum.

About 300 exhibits have been borrowed from 13 French Museums

The opening of the museum shows 620 works of art, of which about 300 pieces have been borrowed from 13 French museums.

There are Da Vinci's "mother Maria" and "beautiful lady" for Lonny leaves. Van Gogh's "self portrait".

All collections are divided into 12 chapters, including from prehistoric relics to contemporary and contemporary art works.

In order to meet the stringent environmental regulation needs of the galleries, the museum also developed a special system to maintain room temperature at 21 degrees Celsius, and the humidity range is no more than 5%.

So a friend who is visiting has to remember to bring a dress and may feel a bit cold.

The museum will also hold four temporary exhibitions a year. The exhibition will come from 13 cooperative French museums. It includes the Le Louvre Museum Museum, the Pompidou Contemporary Art Center, the Orsay Museum and so on.

This is just the beginning of the Arabian people's Saadiyat Island becoming the island of art. In the future, there are 19 museums that are large and small, and all of them are invited to the design of the world's top architects.

For example, Norman Forster's Zayed National Museum, Ando Tadao's Maritime Museum, Zaha Hadid's Performing Arts Center, and so on.
