In celebration of Louvre Abu Dhabi's fifth anniversary in November, three new exhibitions will be held.
The first international Impressionist exhibition 'Impressionism: Pathways to Modernity' will be held from 12 October to 5 February 2023 and will focus on the artistic movement that started in the 1860s in Paris and revolutionised the way of seeing and painting the world.
Organised in partnership with Musée d’Orsay and France Muséums, over 100 Impressionist masterpieces will be displayed.
The second edition of the Louvre Abu Dhabi Art Here 2022 exhibition and the Richard Miller Art Prize will be held from November to February 2023.

Proposals will be open till 31 July with the winner selected, receiving the Dhs 220,382 ($60,000) Richard Miller Art Prize.
The third exhibition called 'Bollywood Superstars', organised in partnership with Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac and France Muséums, will be held from 25 January to 4 June 2023.
