The Museum of the Future (Arabic: المستقبل متحف(

.

is an exhibition space for

innovative and futuristic ideologies, services, and products. Located in the

Financial District of Dubai, UAE, the Museum of the Future has three main

elements: green hill, building, and empty spaces. Founded by the Dubai Future

Foundation. It was set to open in 2021, but as of December of that year had yet to

fully do so. The Government of the United Arab Emirates later opened the

museum on 22 February 2022. The choice of the date was officially made because

the 22nd of February 2022 is a palindrome date.

The goal of this museum is to promote technological development

and innovation, especially in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).

One of the world’s most complex structures, the Museum of the Future was

designed by Killa Design architecture studio and engineered by Buro Happold, a

British professional services firm that provides engineering consultancy, design

and planning.

The museum has seven floors dedicated to different exhibitions. Three floors

focus on outer space resource development, ecosystems and bioengineering, and

health and wellbeing. The other floors showcase near-future technologies that

address challenges in areas including health, water, food, transportation, and

energy, while the last floor is dedicated to children.
