Khaldoon Al Mubarak is the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Affairs Authority and is one of the closest advisors to the ruling family of the emirate. He is a major entrepreneur, on the board of Ferrari, as well as the Chairman of the Manchester City Football Club. Here he talks about his favourite object from the museum's collection—an eagle-shaped fibula from Domagnano, San Marino, dating back to the late fifth century AD.

The Emirati Voices series asks leading citizens of the UAE to talk about how Louvre Abu Dhabi will make a global impact and what their favourite works in the museum collection are. Watch a selection of the videos here.
