Dubai is a land of marvels, and one cannot get enough of it. While the tallest building, the largest mall, and the largest indoor theme park, amongst other things, would keep you hooked on this marvelous city, the Museum of the Future, a recent addition, would surely leave you spellbound. The Museum of the Future is as unique as it sounds and offers the visitors extraordinary sensory and visual experiences while being educational. The best part about this place is that unlike other museums, you do not have to be cautious about what you touch. On the other hand, this is an interactive museum, and the more you touch and engage with the exhibits, the more fun you will have.
The building is an architectural and engineering marvel. It confidently straddles the past and the future, applying advanced technology to traditional art forms. The building’speaks Arabic’: its facade is a canvas for the poetry of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum rendered in the calligraphy of Mattar bin Lahej.
The building’s form is futuristic: it opens a new path away from the highrise towers that dominate skylines everywhere. Its form is symbolic: the circular building represents humanity; the green mound it sits atop represents the earth; the void represents the unknown future.
