On second thoughts...
October 24 2011
Construction on the 24,000 sq ft Guggenheim on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi has been halted.
The Guggenheim is one of four proposed institutions for the island which The Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) are hoping to transform into a cultural district.
The TDIC have stated that the project will still go ahead, postponing the target opening date from 2013 to 2015.
The architect of the project is Frank Gehry, the man responsible for the Guggenheim Bilbao and The Experience Music Project in Seattle.
