Officially opened in February 2022, the Museum of the Future is an architectural icon in Dubai, UAE. The museum employs the latest virtual and augmented reality technologies, data analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and human-machine interaction.
A permanent exhibition space for innovation, the intellectual center works closely with international partners and research entities to study the future, design new ideas, and create discussions about new trends.
The building is an engineering marvel, standing seventy-seven meters tall with no internal pillars. The entire surface of the building is made of developed glass and manufactured with innovative technologies to improve the interior and exterior thermal insulation quality.
The facade of the building extends over an area of 17,600 square meters. Made of stainless steel, the facade panels were produced using automated robotic arms. It has one thousand twenty-four panels representing a kilobyte, a basic unit of the digital information system of computers. Each kilobyte is equal to 1024 bytes, 1024 symbols, or characters.
The museum’s facade is lit by 14,000 meters of programmable LED lighting and is the only building in the world that is entirely covered with Arabic calligraphy. The museum is an incubator for global visionaries and a comprehensive laboratory for future technologies, ideas, and cities.
The museum has seven floors dedicated to different exhibitions. Three floors focus on outer space resource development, ecosystems and bioengineering, and health and wellbeing. The other floors showcase near-future technologies that address challenges in areas including health, water, food, transportation, and energy, while the last floor is dedicated to children. The green plateau in the museum represents stability and the strength of the Emirati experience.
The museum also includes a platform for displaying and testing the innovations of the world's leading technology companies and a place for partnerships with major universities and international research institutes.
STEM City USA is powered by Career Communications Group (CCG), and builds upon the successful best practices and proven content of the Black Engineer of the Year and Women of Color in Technology conferences, both of which operate in digital twin environments. STEM City USA is designed to provide additional content surrounding health, training, mentoring, and lifestyle support.
