Museum of the Future: Inside ‘the world’s most beautiful building’ @ DUBAI, UAE!!!

Beyond the structure itself, the thing that catches your eye is the museums’s blinding stainless steel exterior, softened by elegant Arabic calligraphy on the facade. The structure is powered by its own dedicated solar park.

As the name suggests, The Museum of the Future is the exact opposite of a museum as we know it. Instead of housing artefacts and history from the past, it seeks to take people on a journey of what the world could look like 50 years from today.

The timed ticketed experience takes visitors to a spaceport in 2071 from where they are taken around the various exhibits by the museum’s digital assistant — Aya.

The Museum of the Future was clearly designed to project Dubai as a future ready, inclusive city but the calligraphy on its facade; poetry by a leader who is very much alive; belies its politics rooted in monarchy with a measured approach to various freedoms.

One of the inscriptions on the museum’s facade reads: ‘The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn’t something you await, but rather create’.
