The main saloon of the boat will host an art gallery, with its initial digital display overseen by Nomi Daucé, curator of archaeology at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, while the flybridge of the yacht will serve as a venue for virtual exhibitions, workshops, and conferences, as disclosed by the yard.

The boat will be offered for private yacht charter after her two-year voyage. French architect Axel de Beaufort designed the building’s façade and interior.
