“The Museum reflects His Highness’ passion for the future. Sheikh Mohammed taught us that understanding the future and envisioning it before others, generates the greatest opportunities and impels nations towards development.” He said.
The museum will be a “living museum” that is constantly changing and moving forward, much like the world we live in. It will be the centre of many live discussions, specialised forums and futuristic seminars, inviting some of the world’s greatest innovators, entrepreneurs and futurists to share their visions and philosophies.
It will embark on a continuous “search to discover and showcase the latest technologies the future holds for us and it will become the largest laboratory for the technologies of the cities of the future, the communities of the future and the governments of the future.” Explained Al Gergawi.
The impressive façade of the museum features one of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s most famous quotes: “We may not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.”
