 Museum of the Future (Arabic: متحف المستقبل)[1] is a landmark devoted to innovative and futuristic ideologies. Located in the Financial District of Dubai, UAE. The museum, with 23 floors, is dedicated to exploring the future of science, technology, and innovation. The Museum of the Future is a torus-shaped building with windows in the form of a poem about the future, written by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.[2] It was founded by the Dubai Future Foundation.[3] The Government of the United Arab Emirates opened the museum on 22 February 2022.[4] The choice of the date was officially made because 22 February 2022 is a palindrome date (22/2/22, which is also known as Twosday).
