The Museum of the Future stands on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai's Financial District. The Dubai government founded it, and the Dubai Future Foundation became its parent body in April 2016. Killa Design designed it and Buro Happold engineered it. The article calls the building torus-shaped and notes a parametric design with a growth algorithm for the internal steel frame.
Plans were announced in March 2015, and the museum officially opened on February 22, 2022. It received LEED Platinum certification on February 3, 2023. The exterior is clad in 1,024 fire-retardant composite panels finished in stainless steel, forming Arabic calligraphy by Matar Bin Lahej.
The article describes seven floors, though one passage mentions five exhibit floors. The visitor route starts on the fifth floor and descends, and the first floor is for children under 10. It cites one million visitors from 163 countries in the first year.
