FRANK GEHRY İMZALI GUGGENHEİM ABU DABİ 2025’TE AÇILIYOR

FRANK GEHRY SIGNED GUGGENHEIM ABU DHABI TO OPEN IN 2025

The new opening date for the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, has been announced as 2025. The long-awaited and repeatedly postponed Guggenheim Museum in Abu Dhabi will open in 2025, about 20 years after the plans were announced and 14 years after construction began.


The plans for Guggenheim Abu Dhabi were first announced in 2006. Site work began in 2011, but the project was then put on hold for several years. The new opening date, announced by the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism, came two years after the Guggenheim Foundation confirmed that construction had resumed.

Gehry said, “It’s really exciting to see the project enter this new phase. I hope this building will be embraced by the people of the UAE and that the work will remain a milestone for the country for many years.”

Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will be part of the culture and arts complex on Saadiyat Island, which aims to make the UAE capital an important cultural destination. Among other buildings on Saadiyat Island is the Louvre Abu Dhabi, designed by Jean Nouvel, which is the first Louvre museum location outside France.

Later, Foster + Partners’ Zayed National Museum, Zaha Hadid’s Performing Arts Center (TBC), and Tadao Ando’s Maritime Museum (TBC) will be added to these two structures.

Gehry’s museum design consists of a cluster of galleries with different heights, shapes, and characters. These galleries are spread over four floors around an atrium, connected by glass bridges.


The museum features a total of 11 iconic cone-like structures offering 13,000 square meters of gallery space and additional exhibition areas. Each cone will showcase unique site-specific artworks by leading contemporary artists. Covering an area of 42,000 square meters, the museum surpasses Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao to become the largest Guggenheim ever built.


The museum also includes an education center for children, a 350-seat theater, archives, a library, a conservation laboratory, and an art and technology center.
