Everything that appears in Dubai is a sign of luxury and the future. The technological innovations and state-of-the-art buildings in Dubai define this place as unique in the world.
Record-breaking skyscrapers and time travel are some of the options offered by this fascinating city. That is why the Museum of the Future, inaugurated in 2022, is one of the most current symbols of modernity and allows visitors to discover what the world will be like in half a century.
The future in Dubai: a museum tells you what the planet will be like in 50 years
The Museum of the Future is a work by Killa Design and Buro Happold, designed by Emirati architect Shaun Killa. Located two kilometers from the Burj Khalifa, this building is a true marvel in itself. The space has a ring shape and lacks support columns, making its façade one of the most impressive in the city. What’s particularly special is that this work is covered with windows engraved with Arabic calligraphy, which are part of a poem written by the ruler of Dubai about the futuristic ambitions of the emirate.
Its structure is considered one of the most complex in the world due to its corners and sophisticated design. The museum features a green hill, where the main building is located, and a toroidal volume on top, with a total area of 30,548 m², powered by 4,000 megawatts of solar energy.
A sustainable model and a futuristic vision: all the technology in Dubai
The Museum of the Future has seven floors that address different themes showcasing technologies related to health, water, food, and transport, as well as activities for children. In this location, visitors will experience a disconnection from cell phones, allowing them to glimpse what the world will be like in 50 years.
For those who want to visit this site, the entrance fee is 36 euros. Among the most notable activities, there are rooms featuring the latest technologies in virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and interactions between humans and machines. Visitors will also be able to enjoy themed attractions and theatrical performances with various interpretations of what the future of the world will be like. Additionally, it is important to highlight that all the futuristic rooms are created by designers, artists, and filmmakers.
