Culture by day, comedy by night: Check out Louvre Abu Dhabi before watching Dave Chappelle live
Watching Dave Chappelle on Friday June 27? Why not make it a whole day out by checking out the summer happenings at Louvre Abu Dhabi?
Before the doors for Dave Chappelle open at 6pm and the jokes kick off at 8pm at Etihad Arena, you've got plenty of time to soak up something a little different – and right across the water, no less.
This summer, Louvre Abu Dhabi is super summer-ready and we can't wait to see what's on.
This summer, the gallery boasts new masterpieces on display showing off everything from Giacometti's tall and thoughtful sculptures to a vibrant piece by Kandinsky, plus rare treasures like a 14th-century mosque lamp.
If you're keen to catch something spectacular, take in Una Bulaqueña – a two-metre Filipino masterpiece by Juan Luna.
Meanwhile, you can take the little ones to explore Picturing the Cosmos at the Children's Museum, where kids learn for free.
Need a breather from the indoors? Kayaking and catamaran sailing around the museum are still available during summer, so you can paddle beneath the dreamy dome while soaking up the views.
Prefer to keep it cool? Head to the Café under the dome for a refreshing sip and a nibble before moving on to the boutique for some retail therapy.
So trust us when we say, it's more than worth the detour.
Best part? UAE residents can grab museum tickets at 30 percent off for just Dhs45.50 throughout the summer.
So, whether you're in town for Chappelle or just looking for a proper day out with a mix of culture and comedy, it's easy to plan your day right.
