"Six installations beneath the dome tell stories of migration, memory and exchange across the Indian Ocean."
Six contemporary artists make the Louvre Abu Dhabi dome part of their work, tracing journeys between the Gulf and the Indian Ocean. Reena Kallat's Shorelines of Longing pairs a letter from Kerala with the radios and cassette players that once carried messages across the sea. Look up for Ravikumar Kashi's hanging paper clouds, and find Almaha Jaralla's sailors' garments seemingly moving without their wearers. Curated by Kamini Sawhney, Confluences runs until 28 February 2027. General Louvre admission is AED 70 for adults, with free entry for eligible visitors. Galleries open Tue–Thu 10am–6.30pm and Fri–Sun 10am–8.30pm; closed Mondays. The dome stays open later, but not the exhibition.
For the artworks worth seeking out and how to pair the visit with the museum's Indian Ocean exhibition, read our Art Here 2026 guide.
