NOMAD Circle is bringing art back to Abu Dhabi’s old airport

Remember when the old Abu Dhabi airport was turned into an art exhibition last year? Well, NOMAD Circle is heading back for its second edition, once again bringing art and design to the old Terminal 1 venue from 18 to 22 November.

More than 30 galleries from around the world will fill Terminal 1, using the old school decor as its gallery backdrop - if you remember the green tiled funnel in the middle of the airport, you’ll know that's an art piece by itself. 

Last year, the journey through the exhibition started from the Departures Lounge through the tunnels that once led to the gates, with galleries and artworks appearing along the way.

Stay tuned for more info about the artists involved, timings, and news as we get it.  

Where: Terminal 1, Old Abu Dhabi Airport, Ad Diyafah Street
