The Museum of the Future opened on Sheikh Zayed Road in February 2022. Its torus-shaped exterior is wrapped in three bands of Arabic poetry by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, carved as structural openings through the steel facade. The 14-floor structure has no internal pillars. Set aside 2 to 3 hours for a thorough visit across all floors.
Your visit moves through five distinct themed worlds. On the OSS Hope floor, you board a space station orbiting Earth in the year 2071. You play the role of an arriving researcher, moving through modules that include a biodiversity vault, immersive virtual reality chambers, and an observation deck overlooking a simulated Earth below.
Al Waha places you inside a recreated 2071 rainforest environment designed around future wellness and human connection with nature. Tomorrow Today is a dedicated children's wing with interactive learning stations built around future cities, food systems, and technology. At Futures Lab, you interact with real-world prototypes across energy, mobility, and urban design. The Heal Institute explores the future of human health through walk-through simulations on augmentation and longevity. The deepest floor, The Abyss, addresses long-term existential questions through an immersive dark experience focused on climate and survival.
The lobby retail shop stocks exclusive MOTF merchandise and future-focused products — your Pioneer Pass includes AED 50 credit to spend here.
