A NEW SEASON of exhibitions and events will

launch at Louvre Abu Dhabi in September,

and we couldn’t be more excited.

Entitled Changing Societies, the 2019/20

programme at the Saadiyat Island attraction

includes four new international exhibitions.

The first new collection to arrive at the

world-renowned museum takes visitors back

to Paris in the 1920s.

Rendezvous in Paris: Picasso, Chagall,

Modigliani & Co. (1900-1939) features more

than 80 masterpieces that are being exhibited

for the first time in the Middle East.

The artists on show include Pablo Picasso,

Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani, Sonia

Delaunay and Giorgio De Chirico, and you’ll

be able to check it out from September 18 to

December 7.

Meanwhile, if you love the finer things in life,

then you’ll adore the 10,000 Years of Luxury

collection, which is on display from October 30

to February 15 2020.

Exploring the history of luxury, it showcases

350 extraordinary objects from the fields of

fashion, jewellery, art, furniture and design.

Moving on to 2020, the first new exhibition

of the year will highlight the stories of brave

fighting heroes from across the world.

Furusiyya: The Art of Chivalry between East

and West looks at how tales of knightly culture

have been told throughout history, in both the

Islamic East and largely Christian West.

Finally, film fanatics have a real treat

coming up in April 2020.

Charlie Chaplin: When Art Met Cinema

looks at the connection between some of the

great Charlie Chaplin films and the works of

some of the most famous avant-garde artists

of the time.
