Dubai’s Ruler His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said the calligraphy-inscribed, torus-shaped museum would open on February 22, 2022.

The museum combines elements of exhibition, immersive theatre and themed attraction, inviting one to look beyond the present to the possible.
Its form is symbolic. The circular building represents humanity; the green mound it sits atop represents the earth; the void represents the unknown future.
The ‘windows’ of the structure are a quotes written by Sheikh Mohammed about his vision for the city’s future, rendered in Arabic calligraphy.
The content has been crafted by a team of the world’s leading product, media, exhibition and experience designers.
Topics featured include the future of space travel and living, climate change and ecology, health, wellness and spirituality.
Three floors of immersive exhibitions will focus on the possible futures of outer space resource development, ecosystems and bioengineering, and health, wellness, and spirituality.
Another floor will showcase near-future technologies that will transform our world by addressing challenges in areas such as health, water, food, transportation and energy. The final floor will be dedicated for children, where they will explore and solve challenges in their own inimitable way to become the ‘future heroes’.
