Dubai’s Museum of the Future
It is a prominent landmark on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. Dubai’s Museum of the Future has taken shape and the government of Dubai will inaugurate it soon. Its last piece was installed last weekend in the presence of the royal family of Dubai.
The museum is spread over 30k square meters. It will be 77 meters high with seven floors. All these floors will be for exhibitions of all sorts. The unique thing is that the interior has no pillars.
The facade of the museum has a futuristic steel aesthetic and it has illuminated Arabic calligraphy. This facade is made of 1024 pieces and robots built all of these pieces with precision. Besides this uniqueness, 4000 megawatts of solar-generated electricity will power the urban construction. Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum said:
“The Museum of the Future is a global architectural icon that shows that human miracles are possible. It will play an instrumental role in our efforts to shape a better future,”
“We are always seeking to push the boundaries of excellence and leadership,”
More information about the museum
The museum is a visionary cultural institution. It is supposedly a center of creativity and will project digital art forms too. Besides the exhibition space, there will be an immersion theater in it and also themed attractions.
The Dubai Ruler had earlier said:
“The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn’t something you await, but rather create.”
It aims to hold exhibitions on the role of future technology in diverse sectors of the world such as government services, healthcare, climate change, and also food security.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum tweets about the urban icon
Dubai’s ruler shared photos and videos of the Museum on his Twitter page. On the occasion, he said:
“It is a global engineering icon, but speaks the Arabic language.”
He added:
“Our end goal is not to build engineering miracles, but to develop human miracles that can use the museum to build a better future and Dubai will continues to do so,”
“The Museum of the Future along with the Emirates Towers, and Dubai World Trade Center will be the most innovative, creative and influential area in making the future and advancing the process of sustainability and development,”
The ruler said that even before the inauguration, the center of urban excellence had gained worldwide fame. This is due to its unique design. Around this museum are reflecting pools, green space, a bike path, and a recreational use area.
An elevated walkway would connect the center to the nearest Metro station. And a bridge will link it to the Emirates Towers.
