The Museum of the Future welcomes people of all ages to see, touch, and shape our shared future. Go on a journey through possible futures and bring hope and knowledge back to the present. The building is an architectural and engineering marvel. It confidently straddles the past and the future, applying advanced technology to traditional art-forms.

The facade is a canvas for the quotes of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum rendered in the calligraphy of Mattar bin Lahej. The circular building represents humanity; the green mound it sits atop represents the earth; the void represents the unknown future. The Museum of the Future's facade is made out of stainless steel and consists of 1,024 pieces manufactured by a specialised robot assisted process; covering a total surface area of 17,600 square meters.
