Museum of the Future to Close Temporarily on September 1 for ‘New Experiences’ in 2027
These new experiences are being brought in store for the attraction’s fifth anniversary next year
Dubai’s iconic Museum of the Future is set to temporarily close on September 1, a post on the attraction’s social media page said on August 25.
“See it before the 1st”, an Instagram reel said, encouraging residents and tourists to visit the museum and take a look at its attractions before it closes. Work is set to begin on the “next generation of experiences” once it closes.
The museum had earlier said that visitors will be able to visit the current exhibition until mid-September this year.
These new experiences are being brought in store for the attraction’s fifth anniversary next year. Future experiences, it earlier said, will be inspired by ideas and suggestions shared by individuals from around the world.
The announcement comes after the museum’s recent global call for ideas, inviting the public to contribute suggestions and proposals that could help shape the next generation of its interactive experiences. More than 1,000 ideas and suggestions were received through the museum’s social media platforms.
The new experiences currently under development will offer more interactive ways for visitors to explore the opportunities and challenges that will shape the decades ahead.
“Unlike traditional museums that document the past, the Museum of the Future explores what tomorrow could become and the opportunities science, technology, and innovation create for building a better future. The future is not something we wait for, it is something we create through knowledge, imagination, and action,” Mohammad Al Gergawi, Chairman of the Museum of the Future, earlier said.
The museum’s next phase is set to introduce a new generation of deeper, more immersive, and highly interactive experiences exploring the major scientific and technological shifts expected to reshape economies, societies, and everyday life over the coming decades.
The attraction will announce further details about this development in the coming months, including the future experiences and programmes it will introduce.
