But the main reason to visit this hotel is the Abu Dhabi Cultural District exhibit, Abu Dhabi's vision and expansion plans as a cultural center, which includes the Contemporary Arts Museum (Guggenheim Abu Dhabi); the Classical Art Museum (Louvre Abu Dhabi); the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center, which will house five theatres—a music hall, concert hall, opera house, drama theatre, and a flexible theatre; the Maritime Museum; and the Sheikh Zayed National Museum.
A few Western universities, such as New York University and Paris-Sorbonne University, have opened education and research centers in Abu Dhabi (there are some in Dubai too).
