Get ready to trade your traditional art tours for a tastebud-tantalising adventure! Louvre Abu Dhabi and ARTE have joined forces to turn your museum visit into a full-on sensory feast with a new dessert Pyramidion. Until September 28, art aficionados and dessert enthusiasts can dive into a deliciously innovative experience where museum masterpieces morph into mouth-watering creations. Picture this: ancient Egyptian artefacts transformed into desserts. Now that’s a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Art Meets Gastronomy: The Pyramidion Dessert
At the heart of this culinary escapade is the “Pyramidion” dessert. This delectable treat pays homage to the Pyramidion Inscribed with the Name of Huy, a relic from the New Kingdom era. Shaped like the ancient capstone, the dessert mirrors the kneeling figure depicted on the original pyramidion. Huy, who appears in a posture of reverence, is lovingly recreated in a sweet form that’s both visually and gastronomically pleasing. It’s as if ancient Egyptian craftsmanship has been sweetened and plated for your enjoyment.
But wait, there’s more! The dessert is just one highlight in a smorgasbord of art-inspired treats. Visitors can also explore a patisserie booth brimming with petite cakes modelled after Paul Klee’s “Oriental Bliss” and charming Chinese blue-and-white porcelain adorned with lotus bouquets. Each cake is a miniature masterpiece, merging the realms of art and confectionery into one delightful package.
A Café Experience Like No Other At ARTE, Abu Dhabi
Wander over to the ARTE Café within the museum and you’ll discover a specially curated dessert menu that’s as inspired by the art collection as it is delicious. Open daily from 10am to 6.30 pm on weekdays and until 8.30 pm on weekends, the café invites you to indulge in a unique blend of art and food. Tickets start at Dhs60 for adults and Dhs30 for children under 13, making it an accessible treat for families and solo explorers alike.
