The unmissable Birth of a Museum exhibition extended for another month

It was with a smile of delight that I greeted the news last week that the

Birth of a Museum

exhibition in Manarat Al Saadiyat will be extended for another month.

Too many people have yet to make it to the culturally blossoming island off the coast of our capital to see the permanent collection of the Louvre Abu Dhabi in all its glory and, believe me, it would be a great shame to miss it.

This exhibition is not only a sweeping look at artistic expression since the dawn of civilisation and a taster of what we can expect in 18 months when the museum opens, but is also a giant step forward in terms of the quality and content of art available to us. And you now have an extra month to see what the fuss is all about.

. Birth of a Museum is at Manarat Al Saadiyat until August 24
