Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is ultimately set to start construction on Saadiyat Island in the Persian Gulf. Situated close to the Louver Abu Dhabi, the sculptural venture will showcase craftsmanship from around the globe inside a mountain of plaster blocks and self-cooling translucent cones. Focused on development, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation collects, preserves, and interprets current and contemporary craftsmanship, and explores ideas across cultures through powerful curatorial and instructive initiatives and collaborations.
