Crafted by the late architect Frank Gehry, the museum extends over 80,000 square metres of constructed space within the Saadiyat Cultural District, making it the largest physical venue in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation’s international network. The building’s design features 30 indoor galleries offering 11,600 square metres of exhibition space, complemented by 23,000 square metres of outdoor display zones. A central atrium links these areas, with ten sculptural cones defining the vibrant skyline—nine clad in stainless steel mesh and one finished in onyx and glass. These architectural cones, reaching heights of up to 88 metres, are not only aesthetic elements but also serve functional purposes such as capturing natural breezes and providing shade, employing traditional passive cooling methods to reduce energy use in the desert environment. The institution includes a dedicated centre for art and technology, facilities for children’s education, historical archives, a research library, and a cutting-edge conservation laboratory.
