Tourism Development '&' Investment Company (TDIC), the organisation behind Saadiyat island, is committed to the delivery of the Saadiyat Cultural District museums, including Zayed National Museum, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, which are strategic components of the Abu Dhabi Government's vision for the Emirate.

According to the statement by TDIC, the initial plan was to open all these museums between 2013-2014; however, due to the immense magnitude of the work associated with the development of such consequential projects, the company has decided to extend the delivery dates.

"This will ensure that quality is not compromised, and allow each establishment the time needed to create its own identity on the local and international cultural stage", it added.

The statement said, TDIC can confirm that this necessary review will only have a moderate impact on the delivery timeline of the museums. The company is currently working closely with its valued partners on the creation of the new delivery timeline and looks forward to announcing this in due course.

It concluded that the significant progress has already been made on the museums, including finalised and detailed architectural designs, and all foundation and piling work. The acquisition of the vast art collections that will be housed in each venue is already taking place, as well as the training of the expertise that will operate each institution. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
