Impressive. The UAE is really investing in becoming a global cultural hub. I remember visiting the Louvre Abu Dhabi – the architecture itself is a masterpiece. Highlighting calligraphy and ornamentation alongside modern art shows a beautiful, holistic view of art history.

While this is great for Abu Dhabi, I sometimes wish we saw more high-profile visits and investments in our own cultural institutions in India. We have millennia of art history that could be showcased on such a global platform. Our museums need that level of support and international collaboration.

The focus on "cultural specificity of the Arab world" interacting with global influences is key. It's not about one dominating the other, but a dialogue. Art is a universal language that can teach us so much about coexistence. A very positive news story.

Good to see leadership taking a personal interest in arts and culture. It sends a strong message about its importance to society. The collaboration with Musée du Louvre and others is top-tier. Hope it inspires more young artists from the region and from India too!
