The structure stands as a remarkable feat of architecture and engineering, seamlessly bridging the realms of history and innovation by integrating cutting-edge technology with traditional artistry. It embodies the essence of Arabic culture, with the poetry of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum intricately depicted in calligraphic form by Mattar bin Lahej across its facade.
With its futuristic design, the building charts a new course diverging from the ubiquitous high-rise structures that define modern skylines. Its unique form carries symbolic significance: the circular shape symbolizes humanity, while the verdant mound upon which it rests represents the earth, and the void within signifies the mysteries of the future.
The Museum encapsulates the visionary ethos that has propelled the UAE into becoming a globally renowned, technologically advanced nation within a mere span of 50 years. Serving as a testament to the unwavering spirit of courage, optimism, and innovation that drives Dubai's progress, we stand as a beacon of these values.
In harmony with our dynamic city, the Museum embraces diversity and tolerance, welcoming diverse cultural, philosophical, social, and spiritual perspectives. Our visions of the future are firmly anchored in the rich values of the UAE and the broader Arab world.
Dubai Future Foundation was formed in 2016 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai to institutionalise future-shaping.
Imagining, designing and executing Dubai’s future is at the heart of the Foundation’s remit. Risk-taking, agility and foresight are the key attributes driving the Foundation’s journey towards success.
The Foundation was born out of a key belief: leading in the present isn’t sufficient. It is the future that we must imagine, design and execute.
The Museum of the Future is an initiative of the Dubai Future Foundation.
