“The Louvre is a living example of France’s position as the epicentre of enlightenment, not only to Europe, but to the whole world.”
Shaikh Mohammad noted that the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which was inaugurated in 2017, is a culmination of the profoundly strong relations between the UAE and France, especially in the cultural domains. He added that the museum represents an example of cooperation in celebrating the common heritage of humanity and turning it into a symbol of peace in a volatile world.
“In today’s world, we need the common heritage of humanity to unite peoples and nations in the face of global challenges,” he stated.
