About Museum of the Future
The Museum of the Future, opened in February 2022, is one of the most striking buildings in Dubai. Its shape is a ring with an empty centre, and its silver walls are cut with lines of Arabic calligraphy that also let in light, giving it a look straight out of a science fiction film.
Inside, visitors travel through exhibits about space, health, climate and technology, usually going up by lift and working their way down through zones on space travel, ecosystems, health and wellbeing, and hands-on experiences. The displays are built to be seen, touched and experienced, not just read — a place that makes people think about what the next fifty years could look like and what role they might play.
Why Visit Museum of the Future?
Local story
Good to Know
Timed tickets are usually required and can sell out, so booking ahead is recommended. The museum suits families, couples, groups, technology lovers and photographers for a visit of 2 to 3 hours.
The calligraphy on the outside is made up of quotes about the future, and the lighting at night turns the whole building into a glowing sculpture — well worth an evening photo stop even without a ticket.
