The Abu Dhabi Maritime Museum by Japanese architect Tadao Ando is part of a large-scale project on the artificial island of Saadiyat, 500 meters from the large island of Abu Dhabi. Saadiyat Island Development Project with an area of 27 square meters. km, expected to be completed by 2018, will be one of the most expensive projects in Abu Dhabi. <br>The new museum complex on the capital's Saadiyat Island will house two of the most famous museums in the world - the Guggenheim Museum and the Louvre. <br>The construction of grandiose cultural objects, including the Abu Dhabi Maritime Museum, according to the project of the UAE authorities, should turn Saadiyat Island into a world-class cultural center. <br>The Abu Dhabi Maritime Museum will be dedicated to the history of navigation in the Arab world, as well as the nature of Abu Dhabi. The single streamlined shape of the museum building seems to be the result of the wind working over the coastal rock. The building is located in the middle of a large “water courtyard”, reflecting the theme of the museum. In the interior, the various levels are connected by walkways and “floating decks.” Traditional Arabic dhows are anchored above the "gaps" between the individual floors. Underground there is a lobby space with a huge aquarium.
