00:30Абу-Даби's commitment to creating a cultural and artistic legacy.

00:35We believe that culture is the building blocks of any forward-thinking society.

00:39We believe it is principle for our youth.

00:42Hence, these investments that we're doing in culture,

00:44whether it's in museums or educational programs or exhibits and etc.,

00:50they're predominantly done really as an educating force.

00:54Because we believe understanding somebody else's culture,

00:57your culture, your history, others' history,

01:00puts you in a position to really look at this world from a global perspective.

01:04One of the cultural highlights here is the Abu Dhabi collection.

01:07Now, that is going to be added to with a very exciting announcement,

01:12and that is the Abu Dhabi Masterpieces Collection.

01:15Can you tell me about the relevance of this

01:17and why it's so exciting to be bringing this to Abu Dhabi?

01:20So, it's imperative for us that collections are shared with the world.

01:25And this was the principle thinking of collecting.

01:28You know, when we looked at creating collections

01:31that give you a glimpse of the history of art throughout the world,

01:36throughout different regions,

01:37it's imperative for us that we collect things that we can host in our museums

01:41that can be showcased for the vast audience,

01:45where the vast audience can come, see something either for the first time,

01:48see something side by side by the same artist,

01:51see something within the same collective,

01:53and give them a perspective that they have never seen.

01:55Why is it important for culture to drive and support social change

02:01and, in particular as well, education?

02:04That's really important.

02:05When I visit the museums here in Abu Dhabi

02:08and see youth consume what they've just seen

02:12in a way that is so imaginative and so beautiful to see,

02:16you see that shimmer in their eyes.

02:18You see the creative juices running through their brain,

02:21seeing things and saying,

02:22now I can create.

02:24And, you know, we here in Abu Dhabi believe in the power of creation.

02:28And the fact of the matter is,

02:29focusing these institutions as educational institutions,

02:33focusing that these institutions have a direct link to school curriculars,

02:38whether through art history, through art programs,

02:41through different lessons throughout the day,

02:44you're always infused with the power of art.
