Have you spotted any of them?
Last year, the Abu Dhabi Department Of Culture And Tourism (DCT) launched the Modern Heritage Building Plaque Programme which aims to shine a spotlight on several cultural and historical sites in the capital.
The sites selected are all recognised as playing a big part in the emirate’s cultural heritage and will be a top priority for maintenance and rehabilitation.
The installation began in February 2024 with the first plaque gracing the walls of the Cultural Foundation Abu Dhabi in Qasr Al Hosn. It was the first of 62 modern heritage sites identified by DCT.
And in April 2024, DCT shared a video of more plaques being installed across various sites in the capital.
