Why you’ll love it

  • Calligraphy you can walk inside

    The ring-shaped building is wrapped in Arabic calligraphy, and the letters themselves form its windows.

  • Rooms you step into

    Each floor is an immersive set you walk through, with light, sound and things to touch rather than glass cases.

  • New for its fifth year

    The museum reopens in early 2027 with new exhibits, so it will feel fresh even if you have been before.

  • Indoors and central

    Two to three cool, air-conditioned hours on Sheikh Zayed Road, a short walk from Emirates Towers metro station.
