One of the most fascinating landmarks in Dubai, the Museum of the Future takes pride of place along Sheikh Zayed Road. Founded by the Dubai Future Foundation, this is no ordinary museum, featuring ancient relics behind fancy ropes.
The Museum of the Future in Dubai brings us closer to the future, probably 50 years beyond today’s timeline, seamlessly combining elements of exhibition, theatre and themed attraction. Each floor is like a film set letting guests inhabit, explore and interact.
The building is also an architectural and engineering masterpiece. Its form is symbolic. The circular building represents humanity, the void represents the future and the green mound it sits upon represents planet Earth.
Interestingly, the facade of the building also features the poetry of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The museum carries the spirit of courage, optimism and innovation Dubai is famous for.
