Faced with the global sanitary crisis, museums all over the world have turned to technology to make their collections and exhibitions accessible to all. The newly released 360° tour of Louvre Abu Dhabi exhibition “Abstraction and Calligraphy – Towards a Universal Language”, available on its website addresses this new challenge while enriching the museum experience. Let’s take a look behind the scenes at the design and development of this virtual tour by France Muséums.

The international exhibition « Abstraction and Calligraphy: towards a universal language », produced by France Muséums for Louvre Abu Dhabi is now open. Born from a partnership between Louvre Abu Dhabi, Centre Pompidou and France Muséums, this unprecedented exhibition was able to see light despite the global pandemic thanks to the commitment of our teams and many professionals involved in the project.

Talk of virtual couriering services and monitoring systems dominates webinars all over the world. But what are the sustainable solutions for the future? Invited by the MET, the Registrar Marie Knidler presents the solutions that France Muséums has put in place for the organisation of temporary exhibitions at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
