Makhe ndithethe nje ngaphambili: Andikaze ndifune ukuya e-Abu Dhabi. Ngokwenyani, ukuba ichaneke ngokupheleleyo, andikaze ndihendeke ukuba ndiphume kwisikhululo senqwelomoya sedolophu ngexesha lokuhamba okanye lokuhambisa. Kwakungekho sidingo sokuba ndenze njalo. Yayiyidolophu eyakhelwe ngokungxama eyakhelwe ishishini kumbono we-1990 wobunewunewu-iindawo ezinkulu! Iivenkile ezinkulu zeMega! Ferrariland! Iihotele ezitofotofo ezifumaneka naphina emhlabeni! -Ngelixa ukonakalisa emhlabeni phantse nayiphi na imeko yembali njengoko ii-souqs zatshintshwa nge-Chanel kunye namanye amagama egama afikeleleka ngokulula e-U.S.

Kodwa, njengoko umama wayedla ngokutsho, Ungaze uthi ungaze- kwaye ndizifumanele ukubhukisha ukuhlala kweentsuku ezine e-Emirate kuloJanuwari, ndinomdla weLouvre Abu Dhabi eyavula iingcango zayo ngoNovemba wonyaka ophelileyo. Ndikhe ndathantanyiswa kancinci yimyuziyam entsha ukusukela oko ndafunda INew York Times iqhekeza kuyo, apho uJean-François Charnier, umgcini oyintloko weprojekthi kunye nomphathi wezenzululwazi weAgence France-Museums, wathi, Yintoni iLouvre Abu Dhabi? Ingxelo yoluntu ukususela ekuqaleni kolwazi, isebenzisa ubugcisa njengengqina lamaxesha.

Ndigcinele iimyuziyam iintsuku ezimbini, kunye nezinye ezimbini ukuzama ukufumana iindawo zezinto zakudala, imisebenzi yenkcubeko, kunye nokutya kweemirati (umxube owahlukileyo ophakathi kweMbindi Mpuma, amaIndiya kunye neecuisine zaseAfrika).

Eyakhelwe kwi-peninsula eyenziwe ngumntu, kwaye ivulekele emanzini kumacala amathathu, i-museum iyishukumisayo se-pan-national ode kwi-globalization. Ukujonga ubuntu kunye nembali yethu ngobugcisa kunye nezinto esizenzileyo. Luhambo olunjengolwe-maze oludlula kwimbali kwizakhiwo ezikwisikwere ezinxibeleleneyo kwaye lubonisa ukuba, ngorhwebo, kunye nokukhula, abantu banxibelelana ngokungenakulinganiswa. Zinjani iinkcubeko, iinkolo, imimandla echaphazele imfundo, isayensi kunye nobugcisa. Kwaye njani, nangona impucuko yamandulo yayingamawaka eekhilomitha ngokwahlukana, kwaye yayingazange inxibelelane, kwakusekho ukufana okuthe ngqo kubugcisa babo: amanani oomama, ilanga, iimaski zokufa, izinto zokwenza izinto ezinje ngezixhobo zamanzi, ukulungiswa kwemfuyo kunye ukuchuma (nokuba ngumntu okanye ezolimo).

Kuzo zonke iigalari - ezahlulwe kwizahluko ezili-12 zoluntu- uhamba ngokomzimba kuthi sonke, ukusuka kwimpucuko encinci, ukuya esixekweni, njengoko bezisiba ziintlanga kwaye bephembelela omnye nomnye ngeendlela zorhwebo lomhlaba nolwandle. Indlela ezinxibelelana ngayo iinkolo zethu kunye nendlela inkcubeko emsulwa ngayo enyanisweni ingumxube wamaninzi.

Kweminye imyuziyam inokuba yinto ebonakalayo kakhulu - ukubeka izinto ezintathu ezifanayo kwihlabathi liphela, zenziwe ngexesha elifanayo. Okanye kunokubonakala ngathi ibhiyozela esidlangalaleni ubugcisa bamaSilamsi kunye nolawulo lweArabhu kwimathematics, ulwandle kunye nesayensi ngexesha le-18th century - kodwa ngoba? Azikho ezininzi iimyuziyam zehlabathi ezenze oku. Ngokuphandle, ubuqili kubonakala nje ukuba buyababhidisa abantu abaninzi, ngakumbi eNtshona apho abaninzi babonakala bengayazi impembelelo yoMbindi Mpuma kwinkcubeko yehlabathi.

Indawo yanamhlanje yemyuziyam yayiyinto eyonwabisayo. Ndihleke kakhulu ku-Rene Magritte's I-Subjugated Reader, ndanikwa umdla ngu-Osman Hamdy Bey's Omncinci u-Emir Ukufunda, kwaye ndothuswa ngu-Omar Ba's Act 1- Repaire. Ngaphandle kuyakhuthaza nje ngaphakathi.

UJenny Holzer omkhulu we-limestone oqingqiweyo wamacwecwe e-cuneiform axelela ibali lendalo liseta imvelaphi kaRodin (kwaye uninzi, uninzi lwee-instagrammers zenza i-pensive okanye zihamba zihamba). Kukho ukufakwa kukaGiuseppe Penone okwahlulwahlulwahlulwahlulwahlulwahlulwa kathathu nguGiuseppe Penone, kunye nezinye izinto ezincinci, ezifihliweyo, zonke ziphantsi kwendlu efana noJean Nouvel ethi, ngobuchule bemathematics kunye nemilo ye-trapezoidal, icoca ukukhanya kwelanga kuluhlobo lwenkwenkwezi-etshintsha njalo usuku. Ngokwengqokelela yolwazi yemyuziyam yaphefumlelwa ziinkwenkwezi ezikhokela amaBedouin entlango kwaye zinika imbeko ekubalulekeni komthunzi obalulekileyo eArabia.

Iziphumo ziyahambelana nokucamngca okubonakalayo. Kwakuthulekile-ngaphandle kwesandi samanzi kunye neentaka kwaye konke oku kufana nokuhamba kwindawo evulekileyo yonqulo. Iziphumo zizonke ngamava ombi andishiye ndinyibilikisiwe kwaye ndinethemba.

Yimyuziyam ebaluleke ngokukodwa kwaye iyimfuneko, njengakule minyaka yokuzahlulwa ngokwenkcubeko, iimbacu, iimfazwe kunye nokungaqiniseki, iLouvre Abu Dhabi ibonakalisa ngokwasemzimbeni ukuba oku akwenzeki nje kuphela amaxesha ngamaxesha kwimbali yoluntu- kodwa iyasiqinisekisa ukuba imeko zethu ezingcono kufuneka kwaye (ngethemba) siza koyisa.

Ijolise (kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba iyakwenza oko) ukubonisa ukuba ukukhula ngokwenyani, nokuba kukwezemali, kokomoya okanye kwenkcubeko, kunokuza kuphela ngokutshintshiselana- hayi ukwahlulwa.

Yiba nosizi ngamahlwempu e-Instagram-addict (uninzi lwabo abafika kumyuziyam nabancedisi okanye abazali ukuze bathabathe umfanekiso wabo ogqibeleleyo) abagijima kwimyuziyam emva kwemifanekiso embalwa ephambi kweManet, iMonet, okanye iDaVinci (kunye i-selfie, i-natch) kwaye emva koko ubaleke ukuya kumngxunya wokudubula ngokugqibeleleyo phantsi kwedome, ihlala ikhonkxwe eludongeni ukufumana elona thuba lamanzi-kwaye uphoswe bubuhle obupheleleyo bemyuziyam. Ndaye ndaziva ndonwabile kubakhenkethi ababetyelele ngaphandle kweenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa okanye kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kwaye bendineeyure ezimbalwa zokungenisa konke, zihlala kwiqela leqela elikhulu.

Kungenxa yokuba le myuziyam, njengencwadi elungileyo, yenzelwe ukuba igqunywe ngaphezulu, kwaye iphinde iphindaphindwe.

Iphumeze okungaphezulu kunoko ibizimisele ukukwenza. Inayo (kunye neendawo zakudala ze-Al Ain, isibhedlele saseFalcon esinomdla) kunye ne-Abu Dhabi eyenziwe ngaphambili, i-Miami-esque yokuthenga i-mecca-indawo ekuyiwa kuyo. Kwaye unikwe umhlaba isizathu sokungasayiphathi njengesixhobo esikhulu seenqwelomoya sokuma ngokukhawuleza.
