ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

A visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi can be an overwhelming experience. Guests can be overawed by the sheer scale of the world-renowned landmark, the depth of the history and sheer number exhibits, artefacts, relics and artworks on display at the museum.

Daily storytelling tours help visitors navigate and gain essential insights into the exhibits, making the experience an interactive journey for families and young visitors.

Led by Museum Educators, each tour brings artworks to life through stories and open conversation. Visitors can explore selected pieces from different cultures and time periods, discovering shared human stories and connections across civilisations.

Along the way, the tours encourage observation, curiosity and creative thinking, making art easy to enjoy at any age. Instead of simply viewing artworks, participants take part in the story, by asking questions and sharing ideas as they go.

The guided tours, free with every ticket purchased, are available across a wide range of themes, a brand-new sensorial architecture experience, and the immersive olfactory experience, Art in Scents.
