Over the next few weeks, assembled by hand at factories in Mussaffah, star shaped, aluminium profiles will be arriving at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. These 7,850 stars will join together to form the eight layers of cladding that will envelop the museum's flying-saucer-shaped canopy producing the unique optical effect that will prove to be its defining feature.
