Killa Design and the Dubai Future Foundation launched the Museum of the Future in Dubai, which opened its doors to the public on February 22, 2022. The seven-story building, located in the Emirates Towers area near Sheikh Zayed Road, stands 78 meters high and features 1,024 stainless-steel panels, which were all made, at least in part, by robots. Inside its space-age interior there are six permanent exhibition spaces, a 420-seat auditorium, a restaurant, café, retail stores and parking.
The building’s form is futuristic, it opens a new path away from the high-rise towers that dominate skylines everywhere. Its form is symbolic: the circular building represents humanity; the green mound it sits atop represents the earth; the void represents the unknown future.

Made using advanced technology and traditional art-forms, the Museum of the Future employs modern sustainable architecture strategies, such as solar power, in fact the structure is powered through a dedicated solar park.

On the facade of the museum there are lines of Arabic calligraphy representing three quotes on the future by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai. These say: “We may not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone. The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn’t something you await, but rather create. Innovation is not an intellectual luxury. It is the secret behind the evolution and rejuvenation of nations and peoples.”
