Next to it, there will be Louvre Abu Dhabi designed by Jean Nouvel.

Adding to its original design, this museum is raising some controversy in France. As the UAE and France have agreed that the museums in Paris, including Louvre Paris will rent out their collections to this new museum, some French people are anxious about the possible bad effects to their home museums.

The Performing Arts Centre is designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. This arts centre was inspired by an amoeba-like design from plants. It correspondingly looks like a massive plant growing in the desert.

In this fascinating project with the world’s most prominent architects, there is the presence of the top Japanese architect, Tadao Ando who will be building the Maritime Museum.

This project will place the Middle East as a new hub of art and draw more of the world’s attention to the UAE.
