In 2007, the United Arab Emirates and France signed an intergovernmental agreement to create a universal museum in Abu Dhabi, to be known as the “Louvre Abu Dhabi”. France has expertise in museum creation, and is committed to lending works from its national collections.
This major art museum with a universal vocation opens in November 2017, covering 20,000 m² of floor space, including 6,000 m² of exhibition space, and presenting around 600 works of art to the public.
Our missions for the creation of the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum
In the design phase, setec organisation planned the architectural elements (floors, walls, ceilings) and furnishings (showcases, pedestals, signage, multimedia). In the construction phase, setec organisation was called upon to manage the museographic worksite and the installation of the permanent exhibition collections, and to this end set up planning and reporting tools and provide ongoing support for the work leading up to the inauguration.
