Abu Dhabi - Cultural Foundation

The Cultural Foundation in Abu Dhabi is housed in a modern building of Islamic design with arched columns, elaborate courtyards, manicured gardens and intricately carved doorways. It is considered the arts center of Abu Dhabi as it preserves the heritage and encourages cultural activities.

The Cultural Foundation is home to the National Library, National Archives, theater, cinema, lecture rooms, meeting rooms, an exhibition center and coffee shop. Numerous cultural events, including concerts featuring international and local artists, classic film festivals, art exhibitions and workshops are presented annually.

The original Al Hosn Palace, which houses the Center for Documentation and Research, is also on the site and affiliated with the Foundation.
