The Zayed National Museum on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi is a memorial to Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Foster + Partners, led by Norman Foster, designed it. It opened on December 3, 2025, after delays from the original 2012 date. The article names no owner, style or materials, and calls the design modern.
Five towers shaped like falcon wings rise from 83 to 123 meters. Solar thermal towers are meant to draw cool air through the building. A 30-meter hill rises outside, and the site covers 66,000 square meters. The cost was AED 2.5 billion, about US80 million.
Six themed galleries show about 1,500 of more than 3,000 artifacts. The 600-meter Al Masar Garden is open air. Adult tickets are about AED 70, students and teachers AED 35, and children under 18 enter free. The article gives no hours.
