The Art Gallery at NYU Abu Dhabi

I had the pleasure of visiting the New York University Abu Dhabi Art Gallery, and it was such a wonderful experience. Located within the campus premises, the gallery is a beautiful space that showcases diverse exhibitions. During my visit, I was fortunate to attend the Open Campus Day, which added an extra layer of excitement to the experience. The staff and volunteers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the entire visit enjoyable. One of the highlights of my visit was the curator’s tour of the current exhibition. The curator gave a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how the exhibits were curated, which truly enhanced my appreciation of the artwork on display. It was insightful to hear about the thought process and the stories behind the pieces. The exhibitions are constantly changing, so there's always something new to see, and I’m looking forward to returning to catch the next one. The atmosphere is welcoming and educational, and it’s a great spot to explore contemporary art in Abu Dhabi. Highly recommend a visit, especially if you have the chance to join one of the curator-led tours!

Contemporary art gallery representing new ideas and techniques. It hives a platform for different artists and provides diverse experience for the visitors. The staff is extremely passionate and always ready to help, it’s possible to check the details even in Instagram’s Direct of the gallery. The place itself is modern and spacious, good spot for photographers.

Excellently curated small art gallery with changing exhibits. The gallery also offers tours for children/families on selected days. The last exhibit provided an exhibit guide for children with stickers, what a great idea to encourage children to experience art. Usually, the gallery is not crowded. Staff is very friendly

NYU Abu Dhabi’s Gallery Space featuring a thought provoking and immersive programme of exhibitions. I have visited several times and they also have a reading room which provides a great space for lectures and book launches.

Wonderful place and good experience. The reading room is there for you to read in. Students and staff are very welcoming and bright.

Fascinating little gallery in an University, worth a visit.

A lovely exhibition in a great little gallery.
