The Museum of the Future, located in Dubai, UAE, is not just a conventional museum; it’s an architectural marvel and a symbol of innovation. Opened in February 2021, it aims to showcase futuristic visions, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative solutions to global challenges.
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. Aside from ground-breaking innovations, there will also be special workshops and talks from the world’s greatest minds.
What’s more, all age groups are welcome here. Children aged three to 10 can enjoy an open-world experience at the Future Heroes environment, a dedicated area designed to encourage little ones to tap into their potential. Guests also ought to make a stop at the viewing deck on level two – nestled within the museum’s ‘void’, it provides an up-close experience of the facade’s smooth inner shell, alongside panoramic vistas of Dubai’s fast-paced urban centre.
The building itself is a stunning work of art, designed to resemble a silver torus with a central void. Its facade is covered with Arabic calligraphy, highlighting quotes from the UAE’s founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and other prominent figures.
