Hello, Liketu peeps!
I'm glad to be able to share a few of the photographs I took when we went to the Louvre Abu Dhabi a couple of months back. There were a few posts that I have published regarding this trip already - A Museum City in the Sea - Louvre Museum, Abu Dhabi - where I shared some of my views about the architecture of this marvelous museum, a couple of photos submitted for the Shadow Hunters, and the @divinekids' fun experience at the Children's Museum.
Our almost five hours escapade at the Louvre Abu Dhabi was so enriching, that I could not just fit everything into these three aforementioned posts. The Louvre Abu Dhabi Main Gallery is divided into 12 galleries that tell a chronological history of human creativity from ancient civilization to modern times.
Today I want to share some of the large-sized art pieces on display at the Louvre, particularly from the galleries that focus on the Modern World and Challenging Modernity.
Please pardon me if this post will not come out as nicely - I'm still trying to explore the Liketu frontend. I have added some captions along with most of the photos. I am not yet sure how these will look once I publish. LOL.
For the best experience view this post on Liketu
Oh wow! I hope that I'll be able to visit that place one time. We were not able to pass by that place when we went to Abu Dhabi hehehe. Hope everything is well with you. Keep safe always!
There was a 50% off courtesy of the Philippine Embassy when we went last July so 30 dhs na lang ang ticket. Hehe. They had on display two ancient art pieces from the Philippines. Mga 5 hrs kami nag ikot. Sulit na sulit ang bayad. 👌 Sana makabalik kami soon.
Oh wow! Kung wala lang akong duty why not hehehehe. Ang hirap din pala na 6 times a week na pumapasok. Pero strikto rin kasi sa inyo kailangan pa ng PCR hehehehe. Hope your week is going well po! Keep safe always
These monument hold significant meaning to how they are constructed and modelled
How cool is that!
