Museum of the Future

Overview

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. Furthering a global intellectual movement, it's also the headquarters for the city's ‘Great Arab Minds’ initiative that aims to identify 1,000 exceptional Arab talents across key fields.

Highlights

• Point of View: It is the year 2071, and since you stepped into the museum, a whole lot has changed! Walk past exhibitions that straddle the past and future in a beautiful blend.
• At the Museum of the future, watch futuristic technology and sustainable solutions come together under one time-traveling roof!
• The Exteriors: Admire the gleaming 77-meter torus-shaped structure with calligraphy panels all around. The absence of columns inside makes this structure quite a feat in modern engineering.
• The Interiors: Spread across 5 floors are 5 different chapters for you: each with distinctive problem statements, goals, and ideas. Start on floor 5 and make your way down, floor-by-floor in a cascading fashion.
• The 5 chapters cover themes of climate change, ecology, health, wellness, spirituality, imagination, and the future of space travel and living.
• Floor 6 is private and inaccessible. Floor 7 is the Events Hall, where you may enter. The main exhibits are only on floors 1 through 5.
• Remember: You are an important contributor to the overall experience and not just a viewer of someone else’s work.
