Go to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and follow the virtual tour of the "Furusiyya" exhibition "The art of chivalry between East and West ", organised by Louvre Abu Dhabi, Musée de Cluny – Musée national du Moyen Âge, musée du Louvre and Agence-France Muséums. 

The art of the elite riders, the furûsiyya in the East, the chivalrous culture in the West, born in parallel around the 8th-9th centuries and drawing from partly common sources, weaved throughout the Middle Ages multiple links, still largely unknown. Admire weapons and armor, works and manuscripts of medieval knightly culture in the European and Islamic worlds in an immersive presentation.
