So we’ve been to Abu Dhabi Art’22. Such a beautiful event with a beautiful collection of Art pieces from all over the world. The parking spots were well managed too.

I LOVE this place! I visited for the first time on Sunday. It was better because it was wider and not crowded than I thought. Various workshop activities for children are in operation. Next time, I will visit again with my children. Now there's a painting by an art academy student and some of the pictures are very interesting. I plan to visit other exhibitions from time to time. It would be nice to spend time in the outdoor garden when the weather gets mild.

Very nice one and excellent interior. Superb gallery. Huge buildings and people are nice. Best place for creative people. Visited for exhibition. Enjoyed lot.

What can I say? As a lover of museums and art galleries, history and other exhibits I can say this place has them all. First time to see Stan The T-rex in person and all other artifacts. Plus what i love the most is that there is activity that will allow you to commit in saving mother Earth. Ideal for kids, teens, and oldies but goldies especially their galleries. They have restaurant also. No entrance free at all. Super worth it. Ps. I really enjoyed my experience there. I went alone and had just my phone timer in capturing. Must try! Plus staffs are so friendly.

I have been to this place many a times and it always have something new to offer. 👉Very spacious 👉Art studio 👉Meet and greet 👉International artist 👉Innovative 👉Creativity 👉Cultural events 👉Even the outdoor space is spacious and kids also can enjoy the space for playing with the activities provided I am surely going back again to this place anytime soon The insight was prescient.

Been visiting this place since many years now, always new and different arts from local artists and artists around the globe. Never been disappointed .. always pleasure & fun experience!

Lovely to experience culture in Abu Dhabi. Amazing that this gallery is free to the public. It is well worth a visit. Fab art exhibitions and at the moment Stan the T Rex is on display in the Berklee building. There are also art classes in the gallery. You can do walk in self guided classes or there are planned classes with art teachers too. Painting, ceramics etc. The cafe there is wonderful too. A must visit if you love art.

Visited today and while they are in transition, there are some exhibits there to be seen. It’s a nice relaxing place to take in the art and ponder it’s meaning at a relaxed pace. On top of that I was greeted by a friendly young man who pointed out what was available to see, and his colleague, Fiona, went above and beyond to try and help me. Both were so pleasant and helpful and added to the positive atmosphere.

I just peeked into this place with my kids to see what this place exactly was but later on I realized its an amazing place for the lovers of art,music,cinema and kids activities. My kid always like going to this place and its a hidden gem in Abu Dhabi.

We went for the Semi Permanent event and were overwhelmed by the art workshop space within the building. It took me back to my high-school days. They run regular workshops for adults and kids and really foster a cultural/artistic experience. The events space itself is large and inspired by an industrial design, the blank space allows for different exhibitions to rotate without a lot of production work. For Semi Permanent we attended live interview panels and were able to walk through live mini exhibition spaces. There was also a cafe pop up provided food and beverages to attendees. I'll definitely be back - felt immersed in creativity for a day. Only downside was that it was FREEZING so we actually left early as I can't stay in the cold for long periods of time.

Good ambience inside! And lots to see.

-no fees for entry -nice place for those who are interested in art - Gallery B shows students graduation projects - Gallery A was closed - you can just sit and chill - there is a coffee place

Amazing events, especially the space cinema and they have a table tennis however I am not sure if we need a reservation to use it.

Loved the hip hop exhibit, brought back a lot of childhood memories. Beautiful space, would love to attend events here sometime.

MAS is located in Abudhabi; Alsaadiat,lslande, in the cultural district . MAS gives you the chance to see different exhibitions and Art workshops . In addition to enjoy many other entertainment activities, such as music and cinema shows. The center organizes many cultural events, such as the (Arabian Days) event, which was held on December 15, and sheds light on the beauty of our Arabic language through sessions, dialogues, and singing and artistic activities. Note that entry is free.

Recently, we visited MAS to view the exhibits of art displays and it was really beautiful and neat. On that day it wasn't too crowded so we just had the place for ourselves. There is also an Italian Restaurant (LARTE) and coffee shop for food and beverage to lounge and dine-in. The reception area or receptionists's are really nice and accomodating. Totally, we recommend the place for art lovers and ethusiasts to visit.

For art lovers❤️art and exhibition are superb. Always love to visit this calm plave. They also have a nice place to sit , relax and eat

It’s good for a short walk. Check the contents of the exhibition before you go. They have some regular program for kids.

An absolutely amazing place! It’s a place where people connect and vibe with all sorts of art installations. I went there multiple years ago, and went again during Ramadan where they hosted the Ramadan Arcade event. Everything was perfect. A lot to see and do, including a chance to understand Emirati lifestyle, enjoy delicious cuisines, play traditional games, take part in art workshops, and so much more. Even if it’s not during Ramadan, it’s still an amazing to visit with friends and family on a chill afternoon.

Khaleejiness event created by swalif was really nice. I loved the idea behind it and the art was amazing. It was also very interesting to read behind the art. Manarat Al Saadiyat always never fails to bring out the creativity in you and the events hosted teach you a bit. The space there is really big and open, definitely potential for new things.

I came here for the Abu Dhabi Art Fair 2022 and it was absolutely lovely and I found so many artists and pieces I resonated with. They had a very diverse collection from galleries and artists all over the world and it felt endless. It was very impressive and attracted many people.

Soundbathing in Abu Dhabi at Manarat AlSaadiyat! I had the most wonderful and relaxing sound bath at the Manarat AlSaadiyat tonight. I arrived to this art center and a security guard saw I had a yoga mat with me so he led me to an indoor auditorium (is warm in the summer) where a few people were sitting on yoga mats around a large grouping of a gong, and brass and crystal bowls arranged on the center of the floor. Setting up her bowls was Sonia Gonzalez, an opera singer from Venezuela who has become a fixture in the yoga world in Abu Dhabi because of her sound healing sessions in town. As people finished arriving she explained how everything and everyone vibrates. Through a sound bath, people are exposed to vibrations from these highly resonant bowls that leads to greater relaxation. As relaxation is the antidote to stress, the vibrations from the healing bowls help the body create its own pharmaceuticals, which in turn allows for relaxation and healing to occur. Sonia ensured everyone was present and then began the by striking the bowls while guiding the group meditation. Her narration guided everyone's awareness from their toes to the top of their heads, relaxing the whole body. The next thing I knew I was in a lucid dream, teetering from deep dreams to being half aware of the room ww were in. I felt so relaxed. It was as if some pressure had been released from my head and shoulder - like a leak in an inner tube fizzing out pressurized air. I later realized the tightness in my lower back had disappeared. I was feeling lighter and more relaxed. During the session, she would walk amongst the group with different tonal instruments, singing bowls, and her healing voice. Towards the end of the session, she slowly jingled some chimes and a tingsa (small hand cymbals) three times, inviting our awareness back to the room. There was a calm sense of relaxation pervading the room and amongst participants. Thank you Sonia for sharing your gifts and bringing this relaxation and healing to Abu Dhabi!

Impressive, modern architecture building. Doesn’t have exhibits all year long. Houses a theater, an auditorium, an art studio, a couple of (huge) galleries, an outdoors garden and a nice cafeteria w. both indoors and outdoors place.

It is an.cultural and art exhibition, we will go and watch free cinemas on Saturday and Monday, you can see unique paintings and photos, there will be classes for painting and artwork, , beautiful place to visit

Great place for kids , enjoying drawing, kids playing area , colors, also you can take your coffee or drink

Manarat al sadiyath is the hub of cultural and arts. It is the best indoor hang out place in Abu Dhabi.

I visited Manarat Al Saadiyat two times, during art exhibitions. It is an excellent and vibrant location that has a prominent position in the art scene of Abu Dhabi. If you liked the Louvre, you cannot miss the opportunity to visit Manarat Al Saadiyat, which connects the Abu Dhabi tension for art to the public - be it through the work of rising artists, through modern media, or just through the work of Emirati students of all grades that gives you a privileged point of view on the visual representation of local cultural heritage. Highly recommended.

Love this place. Lots of interesting art that changes frequently, so you can go by often and see something new.

Very interesting art exhibition with art from locals!! Also young artist from school and university are part of the exhibition

*** GREEN AL HOSN REQUIRED *** "Natural History Museum has a new home - in Abu Dhabi." The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi is due to open in 2025 and this is the preview. Life in the desert way before men even knew what Abu Dhabi is. And it is amaaazeebaaaalllss!!! Knowing that Al Ain before was covered in water and the Jebel Hafeet was submerged in water, I believe that there is more to what this sandbox is. And sure is rich not only in oil but history. They had excavated early elephants in Sweihat with intact tusks and molars. Mastodons are believed to have walked here. Imagine that! Stan, the oldest T. rex excavated in South Dakota is in lease at Manarat as a preview of his new home in AD when TNHMAD opens. And OMG i stared at it, zoomed every bone of it, every crevice of that skull that is so intact, and in disbelief that this walked the Earth I now walk onto. Amazing. Of course as this is only a preview, there are just a few pieces on display - dont moan and and be dramatic why there are so less, its FREE entrance FCOL complainers. But the whole Manarat is a cultural district so there are different buildings with different contemporary arts on display. But, I just came for Stan and the meteorite.. THE 7 BILLION YEARS OLD METEORITE! Murchison meteorite fell in 1969 in Australia and 100kg of it was collected and studied. And it contains the signature of the solar system to when the Sun was formed. Read that again and see why I am all sounding so geeky. 😉😁😂 Imagine! I am sooo happy to see these! If youre into all these stuff of history and museums and how the world began and/or wants your kids to understand too and/or be interested in the beginning of things - this is an awesome short visit and an interesting conversation starter. Let them be inspired, and curious of things that matter. 😉😊 BTW, this preview is only until 12 May 2022. ***how to get there: Go to Manarat Al Saadiyat Cultural District. Go to building Berklee Building and follow the flags and wooden crates. There are parking spots behind Berklee and opposite the entrance of Stan. Berklee building is the one that looks like a gray mushroom. 😆

There a lovely cafe/gallery/crafts center in the back yard

A bit disappointed. It used to be very good with a lot of exhibition. It also used to be free but now they charge for 30aed.

The Modern Art Exhibit was so amazing. Paintings and installations were so vivid that you would completely love art.
