Long before its opening, the Museum od the Future in Dubai on the busy Sheik Zayed Road with its unusual shape is a real eye-catcher. It has already been named one of the 14 most beautiful museums in the world by National Graphic. Shaped like an oval torus, the building has a shimmering silver outer skin, punctuated with filigree calligraphy, and is a real architectural masterpiece among the numerous skyscrapers rising into the sky. The streamlined building is 77 meters high and has no corners or edges. Architect Shaun Killa explains the underlying idea: "The shape of the building follows the principles of Feng Shui. The huge hole in the middle is meant to symbolize all that we don't know," says the South African-born architect. The facade features quotes from Sheikh Muhammad bin Raschid Al Maktum on the theme of the future. For this, 1024 panels were installed, and 14,000 meters of light lines set the calligraphic masterpiece in the right light.
Thematically, the new museum is primarily dedicated to the question of how new technologies will change our lives in the next 50 years. The museum is also a scientific center that aims to find solutions for the world of tomorrow. Various experiential exhibitions are presented on the seven floors, for example about life in space, the rainforest or future technologies.
