Journal Paper Format
International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 28, No. 16, (2019), pp. 1695 – 1705 The Role of Contemporary Biographical Museums in Heritage Conservation in the UAE Sadeka. Shakour Department of Furniture and Interior Design, Faculty of Applied Arts E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The first generation of Museums in the UAE was more oriented towards displaying artifacts and ethnographic segments of history. On the other hand, the current trend is more toward the changes and associated collective memories of the community in a rapidly developing modern nation state. His Highness, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan was the founder of the state and had a powerful and influential vision and personality that not only influenced his society, but also passed through to the whole Gulf region. Having a biographical Museum for Sheikh Zayed is essential for documenting and preserving the details of his personality and presenting different aspects of his life in an innovative manner. Such museum will allow younger, technology-oriented generations to follow in the footsteps of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan to develop and progress their country. In addition, a biographical museum will provide a platform to reconnect with the past to conserve UAE heritage. Emerging contemporary museums in Al-Saadiyat Island exemplify the shift, from traditional forts that were restored into museums, to new forms of spaces. This new type offers technologies to support the exhibition of artifacts and objects in context and scale based on international design guidelines. Therefore, the biographical museum that is proposed by this research is to be built in Al-Saadiyat Island. -

Building for Art’s Sake World-class museums no longer stake their reputations on art and artifacts alone; the museum building itself must be viewed as an architectural treasure. Along with surging visitor numbers and swelling collections, this trend is driving a spate of major museum projects in New York, New York, USA; London, England; and theEd ge Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Te projects expand, The Louvre Abu Dhabi, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is move or build new branches of some of the world’s leading muse- slated for a December 2015 opening. ums—and face challenges ranging from unusual building sites to allegations of labor abuses. Te €400 million Louvre Abu Dhabi designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, slated for a December 2015 opening, and the US$800 million Guggenheim Abu Dhabi designed by U.S. architect Frank Gehry, scheduled to open in 2017, are prime examples. Branches of the original Guggenheim and Louvre museums in New York and Paris, France, respectively, the proj- ects are central components of the UAE government’s planned “cultural district” on Saadiyat Island. Because the two museums will be surrounded by water on three sides, engineering hurdles are substantial. Te largest challenge facing Saadiyat’s three museum proj- ects—the Zayed National Museum is scheduled to open in 2016, with assistance from the British Museum in London—is putting to rest international concern about widespread abuses of migrant workers, including poor living conditions, unpaid wages and forced labor. “I therefore call on the UAE government, but also on all companies involved in the Saadiyat project—including [the] Louvre, British Museum and Guggenheim—to ensure that any form of mistreatment is addressed and that all migrants can fully enjoy their human rights,” Barbara Lochbihler, chair of the European Parliament’s subcom- mittee on human rights, said in December 2013. -

Louvre Abu Dhabi's Children's Museum to Reopen with New Interactive Art Experience
Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 06/16/2021 4:21:12 PM LOUVRE ABU DHABI Press Release Louvre Abu Dhabi's Children's Museum to Reopen with New Interactive Art Experience Opening on 18 June, 'Emotions!' invites children and families to explore their feelings through an immersive, multimedia art exhibition Abu Dhabi, 9 June 2021: Louvre Abu Dhabi's Children's Museum is set to reopen with a fascinating exhibition where children will be able to identify and explore emotions through artwork and immersive experiences. Launching on 18 June, the Emotions!: The New Art Adventure exhibition will feature 10 artworks and multiple interactive stations to familiarise children with identifying emotions - an essential milestone in a child's development. Running until 2023, Emotions! will combine entertainment and education across three floors of immersive experiences, gamification, and interactive play areas, encouraging children aged four to 10 to learn about different emotions and how to spot them. Children begin their art 'adventure' at the exhibition by creating a personal profile and getting a wristband to collect points through activities and challenges. Visitors are first introduced to artworks from varying periods and geographical locations through a series of observation games, discovering the hidden details and stories behind each work. Interactive games and activities will include various digital and touchless experiences, in addition to a workshop area with self-led tutorials - virtually presented by three young Emirati artists - on how to represent emotions through different art activities such as drawing, collage and 2D sculpture. Children will learn how emotions can also be expressed through body language via a touchless interactive game using movement recognition. -
