DUBAI ‘MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE’ NAMED ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSEUMS

  • 01/08/2021

The Museum of the Future in Dubai has already been hailed as a major global attraction – even before it has opened its doors to the public. National Geographic magazine named it one of the 14 most beautiful museums on the planet.
Other notable museums included the Shanghai Museum of Astronomy in China, the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the US capital, Washington and the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum in Spain.
The stunning landmark in downtown Dubai was praised for its dazzling design and cutting-edge technology in the rankings. Construction of the museum is nearing its conclusion, although a firm opening date has not been announced.
Covering an area of 30,000 square meters, the seven-storey pillarless construction stands 77 meters tall. Its stainless steel facade, which has a total area of 17,000 square metres, is illuminated by 14,000 metres of Arabic calligraphy made by the Emirati artist Mattar bin Lahej.
The Museum of the Future in Dubai will be powered by 4,000 megawatts of solar energy generated by a station at the building. The park surrounding the museum features 80 species of plants and a state-of-the-art irrigation system.
The design of the building was done by Sean Keila. As a unique architectural model, the venue has already won the Tikla International Building Award. Design and engineering software company Autodesk described the museum as one of the world’s most innovative buildings.
