Museum of the Future
The Museum of the Future is known as one of the most difficult construction projects ever attempted, even in a city that builds as quickly and as much as Dubai. The Museum of the Future is more than just another museum dedicated to modern culture. Using the most up-to-date design, prototyping, and technical advances, the museum is exclusively dedicated to creating true next-generation exhibitions that will transport you 50 years into the future . Within its remarkable ring-like construction with a huge open centre, you can explore the future of ever-dynamic science and innovation.
Highlights
The futuristic shape of the museum is described as a torus with an elliptical vacuum in the architectural world, but a huge hula hoop might be a more accessible point of comparison. The Museum of the Future's executive director , Lath Carlson, compares it to an eye. He confesses, "We have a hard time describing the building to those who haven't seen it." "Nothing comes close to evoking the shape. The Museum of the Future, with its 77-meter height, is a magnificent architectural marvel! It boasts a distinctively rectangular ring-shaped stainless steel exterior designed by renowned architec t Shaun Killa, with 1024 parts manufactured utilising the most advanced robot-assisted method. It is also embellished with insightful statements from HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, which are etched on it in Mattar bin Lahej's masterful handwriting. The solid section of the structure, according to the architect, represents our current knowledge. The emptiness symbolises everything we don't know yet — in other words, the future.
