Louvre Abu Dhabi will open its new Children’s Museum exhibition, A Board Game Adventure on 18th July (Saturday), offering an interactive experience that combines art, learning and play for children and families. Supported by Mubadala Foundation, the exhibition will run until April 2027.
Designed for children aged 4 to 12, the Board Game Adventure exhibition explores the history of board games as one of the oldest forms of human interaction through 24 artworks and artefacts from the Louvre Abu Dhabi collection and leading international cultural institutions. It highlights the evolution of board games, their journey across civilizations, and their role in sharing knowledge and fostering cultural connections.
Ugo Bertoni, Director of External Affairs, Outreach and Cultural Engagement at Louvre Abu Dhabi, said that the Board Game Adventure exhibition offers an interactive educational experience that encourages children and families to explore and learn together, in line with the Year of Family, while reinforcing the museum’s mission of bringing cultures closer together.
Alya Al Hosani, Vice Chair of Mubadala Foundation, said the Foundation’s support for the exhibition reflects its commitment to expanding access to high-quality educational and cultural initiatives that nurture creativity and curiosity among children and empower future generations through interactive learning.
The Board Game Adventure exhibition features digital experiences, hands-on activities and interactive workshops that provide visitors with an immersive learning journey, encouraging children to engage with history, art and culture through play-based exploration.
It will also include a children’s summer program in August, offering board game-inspired activities that promote creativity, critical thinking, collaborative learning and problem-solving skills in an engaging and interactive environment.
