Speaking of art, there are two new sculptures to see at Yas Bay Waterfront created by international artists: KAWS and Takashi Murakami. They are joining the other larger-than-life installations and murals at Yas Bay for a total of 12 artworks to see. You’ll find “Flower Parent and Child,” on the promenade and “Final Days,” in the lobby.

But first, it’s time to brush up on your art skills at Louvre Abu Dhabi Artlab. Happy painting.
