Museum of the Future opens in Dubai

Dubai has opened the “Museum of the Future” (MOTF) on the historically significant palindrome date, February 22, 2022 – and it’s being billed as the most high-tech and beauteous attraction in the country, if not the entire planet.

Located next to the Emirates Towers on Sheikh Zayed Road, the museum signifies a peek into the world 50 years from now, exhibiting and predicting how next-generation solutions —  from artificial intelligence to augmented reality and identifying potential threats — can enhance and revolutionize humanity for the better

“It is an architectural and engineering marvel, confidently straddling the past and the future and applying advanced technology to traditional art forms,” United Arab Emirates officials said during the opening.

Made out of a fiberglass and stainless steel frame, the development was designed by architecture firm Killa Design, and has already been recognized by National Geographic as one of the world’s 14 most beautiful museums.

But His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai went a step further calling it “the most beautiful building on earth” in a tweet.
