A new exhibition season has been announced by Louvre Abu Dhabi. Alongside the exhibitions, the program includes interactive installations, informative seminars, and interesting events that showcase a variety of subjects and collaborations. The director of Louvre Abu Dhabi, Manuel Rabaté, stated, "Every exhibition at Louvre Abu Dhabi is a testament to our dedication towards offering unique and enriching experiences to our visitors."

Three exhibitions scheduled to open at Louvre Abu Dhabi are:

A well-known independent curator, lecturer, writer, and art critic who has organized numerous international exhibitions featuring African contemporary artists, Simon Njami will be the curator of the fourth edition of Louvre Abu Dhabi Art Here, which is being organized in collaboration with the upscale Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille. 

Post-Impressionism: Beyond Appearances (October 16 – February 9, 2025)

Building on the success of its landmark exhibition Impressionism: Pathways to Modernity, Louvre Abu Dhabi's Post-Impressionism: Beyond Appearances will collaborate with Musée d'Orsay. The interesting era of Post-Impressionism will be explored in this show, with a particular emphasis on the years 1886–1905. These two decades, which saw the explosion of the "fauves" at the Salon d'Automne and the departure from Impressionism, were a time of great artistic creativity and experimentation. Aisha Alahmadi, the curatorial assistant at Louvre Abu Dhabi, will assist Jean-Rémi Touzet, conservator for paintings at the Musée d'Orsay, and Jérôme Farigoule, Chief Curator, in curating the exhibition. 

Kings and Queens of Africa: Forms and Figures of Power (January 29, 2025 - May 25, 2025)

Kings and Queens of Africa: Forms and Figures of Power, presented in collaboration with the musée du quai Branly, honors the rich cultural legacy and historical background of African royalty via the presentation of carefully chosen material excerpts from throughout the continent. This exhibition will offer a varied and fascinating investigation of the culture and ideas that are entwined with the lives of African kings and queens, with a collection of some 300 objects, including loans from other sources. Hélène Joubert, Head Curator of the African Heritage Unit at the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, will oversee the exhibition with assistance from two associate curators: Cindy Olohou, an independent curator, and Mariam AlDhaheri, Curatorial Referee at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Malick Ndiaye El Hadji is the curator of the Théodore Monod Museum of African Art at IFAN-Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar, Senegal.
