On July 8, 2006, the government of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, announced it had signed an agreement with the Guggenheim Foundation to build a 300,000-square-foot "Guggenheim Abu Dhabi" museum. Frank Gehry was to design it, with completion expected in 2011.

On January 19, 2005, philanthropist Peter B. Lewis resigned from his position as chairman of the foundation, expressing his opposition to Krens's continuing moves to expand the Guggenheim globally.
He said that he wished the foundation would "concentrate more on New York and less on being scattered all over the world."
Lewis had been the largest donor in the history of the Guggenheim, and it is not yet clear what effect his resignation will have on their future plans.

Not all of Krens's plans for additional Guggenheims have borne fruit. These projects have failed or are in trouble:

Taiwan:
Archictect: Zaha Hadid. Reason for failure: the local government of Taichung couldn't raise the money.

Rio de Janeiro:
Architect: Jean Nouvel. Project abandoned in 2005.

Guadalajara, Mexico:
Architect: Enrique Norten. Status (as of July 2006): still struggling to raise funds.

The Guggenheim Foundation is discussing with the Pompidou Center in Paris a project to build a museum in Hong Kong.

Plans are underway to create the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi on the Saadiyat Island that lies off the coast of the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi.
