Louvre Abu Dhabi
Day before yesterday we took a trip to Abu Dhabi and visited our favorite museum the Louvre.
The architecture of that building is amazing. The big dome almost looks like it’s made of thousands of parts of a watch movement
Underneath the dome magnificent architecture with straight lines, white cubical structures, water and contracting light ones.
I’ve tried to capture some of that in the pictures below
But in the evening it’s even more stunning (picture was taken few months back)

Very interesting I look forward to having the opportunity to see it live one day...
Interesting remark you make about the dome looking like watch movement parts. I never thought of it but it is so true 👍
