    The project

    The Metamorphosis Exhibition at the Louvre Abu Dhabi epitomizes transformation, setting a precedent for the museum and prospective regional developments. This project elegantly combines sensory natural experiences with state-of-the-art digital technologies, illustrating a fluid transition from artificial to natural environments.

    The exhibition aims to address and resolve ethical, cultural, and financial sustainability issues associated with borrowed artifacts. It seeks to inspire local creators by promoting the use of advanced digital technologies to develop original, contextually appropriate artifacts that resonate with natural experiences.

    The inspiration about the project

    The inspiration for this project comes from the need to blend modern technology with authentic cultural experiences, thereby fostering a dialogue between historical artifacts and contemporary interpretations.

    Being part of NTU

    Antreas's time at Nottingham Trent University has been incredible. Continuing at NTU for his Masters after completing his bachelor's degree there was an easy choice due to the supportive environment.  The university has consistently offered great support, whether he needed feedback on projects or help with personal issues.

    NTU's commitment to fostering a balance between academic and personal life has been evident in its encouragement of social activities and study trips. Antreas is particularly grateful for a trip they undertook to London this year, which provided valuable learning experiences and opportunities to connect with professionals in the field.

    Closing remarks

    Throughout my academic journey at Nottingham Trent University, I've learned that passion and creativity are the cornerstones of innovation. This project has not only challenged my design skills but also deepened my understanding of cultural and technological integration. I encourage future students to embrace every challenge and opportunity at NTU, as it is the best way to grow both personally and professionally.
