Architect defends treatment of workers at Louvre Abu Dhabi
Architect defends treatment of workers at Louvre Abu Dhabi. Jean Nouvel dismisses ‘old question’ over exploitation, saying conditions were better than for some in Europe.
The French architect Jean Nouvel has defended his Louvre museum in Abu Dhabi, a massive domed complex that opens in November, from accusations it was built by exploited and abused migrant workers.
The building opens on 11 November, 10 years after the Paris museum signed an unprecedented £663m deal to allow Abu Dhabi to use its name for 30 years and borrow 300 works from its collection.
