Designed by the late Frank Gehry and opening 11 December, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is inspired by Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi: Guggenheim Abu Dhabi reveals how the emirate’s climate, coastline and cultural traditions shaped Frank Gehry’s architectural vision ahead of its opening on 11 December 2026. Located within Saadiyat Cultural District, the museum features monumental cones that create shade and channel cooling breezes, alongside courtyards, terraces and outdoor exhibition spaces that connect art.
