Awarding-winning Nigerian poet and writer, Ben Okri, has written an extremely thought provoking poem about “universality” to mark the opening of the Louvre Abu Dhabi. 

The title is addressed to the museum, which the poet says is “A world, and a meeting of worlds.”

Okri writes that the Louvre’s “dream” is to “unite that which has been separated by history. To return the many to the one.”

The video shows children and adults from different cultures in locations around the world that range from Manhattan to the streets of Paris, a Japanese bullet train and a dhow sailing off the coast of Abu Dhabi.
