See into the future
What is set to be 2021’s most anticipated opening, the Museum of the Future aims to serve as a base to explore the greatest challenges and technologies that will shape the world of tomorrow. Contrary to the usual concept of traditional museums based behind closed windows displaying eras of the past, masterpieces, and encounters, the Museum of the Future is distinguished by being an incubator for innovative ideas, technology, and future projects. It is a global destination for inventors and entrepreneurs. The Museum also provides its patrons with a set of immersive experiences. It enables them to learn about future technology that will change people’s lives.
Its futuristic design is one of the world's most complex; a gleaming silver oval with an open centre, designed to look like an eye, covered in Arabic calligraphy designed by the Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej.
Feel the fear
