Used Museum for Sale
Abu Dhabi has been announcing for some time that it is buying the Louvre. Being basically polite, no numbers have been mentioned.
According to the New York Times, the number is US$1,300,000,000, i.e., $1.3 American billions.
This will go on the recently enlarged island of Saadiyat just north of the main island.
No word, however, on how Paris will spend the money, but they figure they have to do better than just keeping a nuisance that attracts da Vinci Code fanatics.

I've read about this and I use to live in Abu Dhabi. Sounds like they're getting somewhat snooty up there. Glad I left before the immense ego reared it's face.
