1 MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE
The Museum of the Future is an engineering marvel; an elliptical stainless-steel shape covered in a filigree of flowing Arabic typography with a central void representing the unknown future. (The words are quotes from HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, sharing his vision of the future.) Located directly adjacent to Jumeirah Emirates Towers, the museum has exhibits exploring space travel, climate change, ecology, health and spirituality. Start your visit with a trip to outer space - a virtual reality experience on a spacecraft that takes you to a space station 600km above Earth, and then work your way up through six floors of thoughtprovoking interactive displays. It has some very creative ideas about the future of humanity, how we will be living and travelling. The top floor is a pillar free, light-filled events space with all the typography visible from inside. Don't miss the viewing platform in the void for a close-up view of the building. Open daily 10am-6pm. AED145 (£30): museumofthefuture.ae
