Research Center

Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Resource Centre collects material for the documentation, study and preservation of the museum’s permanent collection and supports the museum’s research activities and programmes. Through the development of a library specialised in connected art history, electronic resources and an artwork database, the Resource Centre focuses on the encounters, transfers and circulation of art as well as on the history of collections and collecting. The resources, available in the museum’s three official languages, Arabic, French and English, follow an interdisciplinary approach to explore anthropological, historical, aesthetic and technical connections in a global and cross-cultural perspective.
