Salt Camp

The temperatures have been rising lately, and for a few days last week it was really hot, then the rain came and it luckily cooled off a bit again.

On the weekend we managed to go out for lunch at work though, as we only had to get to the garden of the museum, where a pop-up Salt Camp just opened!

SALT is a local burger joint, that has set up different pop-up restaurants throughout the winter. I had already spotted them at the Abu Dhabi Art in November, and outside Museum of the Future in Dubai in January. Now, they have come to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
It all looks really cool there on the lawn, with a huge set-up of bright pink tee-pees, and a central space around a huge camp fire with lots of "Instagram-friendly" spaces and details!

Here at the Louvre Abu Dhabi the whole set-up has got a bit of an artsy twist to it as SALT has added interpretations of different well-known artists. The campaign is called 'The Art has Left the Frame', with an idea to make art more accessible. (Apart from George Washington here below, by Gilbert Stuart, they had not picked out any other artwork you can actually see inside our museum though... So in my opinion, the campaign fell a bit flat, but well well...)

We had some of their signature burgers, next time we might go for their well-known ice creams!

It was nice to take an actual break and get out in the fresh air for a change during lunch, I usually just scoff something quickly at my desk in the office, in between delivering tours.
