Dubai's New Attraction, Museum Of The Future

Its unique curvilinear shape that looks like an eye stands out majestic from afar. This architectural marvel has no internal columns and is supported by a steel structure that was ‘digitally grown’ using parametric tools. It also has no corners at all! 😱

Each panel represents one kilobyte. In digital computing, one kilobyte is equal to 1,024 bytes, or 1,024 characters. The Museum of the Future truly lives up to its reputation of beauty 😍

On the 5th floor visitors are presented with the ‘OSS-hope’, a NASA- approved makeshift space station, with walls covered in 3D-printed meshes seemingly made from asteroid-mined material.

With almost 2400 specimens on display in individual tubes, you’ll also get to learn more about the ecosystems and their interactions in the Amazon, while understanding more about bio-engineering, a possible solution in solving one of the biggest challenges in the Amazon: deforestation. Of course, while you’re literally standing in the future, you’ll get to see prototypes of future products on the 2nd floor, such as drones, flying cars and even robotic pets! Seems like Back To The Future’s predictions might be a reality in the near future! 🥳

The museum also contains many laboratory spaces, a 1000-capacity multi-use hall, and a 345-seat lecture theatre, aimed to find next-generation solutions that will change and solve today’s challenges. You can even head outside! Stand in the middle of the eye and take plenty of IG-worthy photos 😉
