让人期待已久的让·努维尔新作：阿布达比卢浮宫（巴黎卢浮宫分馆），正在紧锣密鼓的筹备秋季的盛大开馆仪式。从以下图片中可以看到博物馆的金属穹顶已接近施工尾声。本项目自2009年开工以来就备受瞩目，而最近有传闻指博物馆将于今年十一月对公众开放。
在法国大使 Ludovic Pouille 访问阿布达比之后，他在网上发布了一条有关博物馆施工近况的维特。从图片中可见该建筑物重达7700吨的穹顶、部分室内展览厅、以及通向室外水池的混凝土阶梯都已经完工。博物馆坐落于波斯湾的一座人工岛屿上，在初期建造阶段时，场地周围以水堤阻挡海水流入，继而进行高难度的施工。
Pouille 在专人的带领下游览了博物馆。负责团队日以继夜地工作，推动着项目进度，Pouille 对此表示惊叹。

In Progress: Louvre Abu Dhabi / Jean Nouvel
21 From the architect. All climates like exceptions. Warmer when it is cold. Cooler in the tropics. People do not resist thermal shock well. Nor do works of art. Such elementary observations have influenced the Louvre Abu Dhabi. It wishes to create a welcoming world serenely combining light and shadow, reflection and calm.
Watch the Louvre Abu Dhabi Perimeter Flood
Earlier this week, the temporary sea wall that had been separating the Louvre Abu Dhabi from the seawater of the Persian Gulf was removed, creating a new harmony between site and structure as envisioned in the original project renderings. The building, which was conceived in 2007 and designed by Jean Nouvel, is set to open later this year.
