What al ovely gallery. It is manageable and easy to navigate. Attended an exhibition which featured 150 pieces from the Louvre. The curator did a great job with his/her placement of the pieces. Lighting was superb. Highly recommended.

This was great to visit the free Museum and to learn although only 41 years old the enormous growth & planned future growth of this city is amazing. Abu Dhabi with it's vision both culturally &. artistically is quickly becoming a major tourism attraction in the UAE. We knew nothing about Abu Dhabi & were so impressed with the presentation...

The latest exhibition " The birth of a Museum" is excellent, well curated, and with very good and informative blurbs around the show for the layman. Some wonderful pieces on show which are just such a delight to see "in the flesh" like Picasso's collage of Francois Gilot, and some truly stunning Persian miniatures. Wonderful too to learn more about...

It is impressive how an island has been transformed into such a huge project. The museums to be built are amazing in structure and concept. I can simply say WAW!!! The hotels, schools, roads, museums, opera house,... Thumbs up!

Nice place to get away from the rest of the tourist hoards. This place will be much improved as other parts become completed. Unfortunately there were no special exhibitions on when we were there. Interactive 'environmental' section good for kids, good cafe. The introductory movie you can watch at the start has the most comfy couches ever seen in a...

Saadiyat Island gives visitors to Abu Dhabi a modern, high-tech look at what lies ahead for this amazing city.
There is always something interesting going on in this fabulously cool and refreshing building - the restaurant/cafe never fails to impress - worth the visit
I suspect that this place could be great during certain events. But without an exhibit at this time, it felt like a ghost town. Eventually this area will have museums, and it was interesting to see the plans. But otherwise, give this area a pass until 2015 or so.
