Jameel Arts Centre
A calm, free contemporary-art institution on the Creek with galleries, a research library and a waterfront setting.
Jameel Arts Centre rewards a slower visit than its scale might suggest. The galleries present modern and contemporary work with a regional and international perspective, while Jameel Library, the sculpture park and the waterfront location give the building uses beyond a single exhibition. It is one of Dubai's most dependable recommendations for a thoughtful few hours.
Check the current exhibitions and public programme, but do not feel obliged to schedule every minute. The best visit leaves room for the library, the gardens and a walk along the water.
