I’ve been living in Dubai since 2015, a few years ago I started seeing construction being done on Sheikh Zayed Rd towards the Trade Center. When I passed by I took some photos imagining what it was all about.

Some time later we saw the announcement of the Museum of the Future, awaiting the completion of this impressive project and the opportunity to visit. This happened in May 2022 and honestly, according to Dubai, it is a vision of the future.

Designed as an asymmetric torus clad in steel and glass, the Museum of the Future has been recognized by National Geographic as one of 14 most beautiful museums in the world. It’s a credit to architect Shaun Killa, who wanted the structure to represent Dubai’s vision of the future.

One of Dubai’s most famous landmarks, the Museum of the Future (MOTF) takes pride of place along the city’s superhighway, Sheikh Zayed Road. Founded by the Dubai Future Foundation and launched on 22 February 2022, the museum explores how society could evolve in the coming decades using science and technology. Termed a ‘living museum’, it incorporates elements of traditional exhibitions, immersive theatre and themed attractions, so visitors can look beyond the present and towards the future’s limitless possibilities.

What to expect at Museum of the Future? A gateway to the world 50 years from now, the landmark development will contribute to a better humanity and stronger global economy by demonstrating how next-generation solutions – incorporating everything from artificial intelligence to augmented reality – can enhance our lives. The main museum experience is split into five chapters.

OSS Hope: experience life on a space station, 600km above the Earth

The Heal Institute: an augmented- and virtual-reality view of Dubai and the world in 2071

Al Waha: “The Oasis” offers soothing experiences and a Sensory Room

Tomorrow Today: Learn about the futuristic technologies that already exists today

Future Heroes: an interactive play-space designed to inspire children through missions and games

Visitors will have the chance to engage with this game-changing technology. Each floor of the museum is designed like an expansive, interactive movie set, brought to life by expert storytellers, technologists and visionary artists. Topics in focus include the future of space travel and living, climate change and ecology, health, wellness and spirituality.

The exterior façade of the building comprises windows that form Arabic quotes said by Dubai’s ruler about the emirate’s future. The phrases written on the Dubai Museum of the Future are three quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates are:

“We won’t live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.”
“The future will be for those who will be able to imagine, design and build it, the future does not wait, the future can be designed and built today.”
“The secret of the renewal of life, the development of civilization and the progress of humanity is in one word: innovation.”
