Cultural Foundation

The Cultural Foundation is an arts centre in central Abu Dhabi, opposite Qasr Al Hosn. Opened in 1981 as the country's first dedicated cultural centre, its low courtyard building takes cues from the nearby fort and holds exhibition halls, a theatre, art and calligraphy workshops and the Abu Dhabi Children's Library.
