Yes. The Museum of the Future temporarily closed its doors to visitors at the beginning of September 2026 as it prepares to unveil a completely reimagined experience, with an entirely new narrative, exhibitions and spaces unlike anything visitors have seen before.

The Museum of the Future is set to reopen in the first quarter of 2027, coinciding with its fifth anniversary, when it will unveil a completely reimagined experience for visitors.

The future is constantly evolving, and the museum is evolving with it. The temporary closure is an opportunity to reimagine the museum from the ground up, rather than simply update its existing exhibitions. When it reopens, visitors will embark on an entirely new journey, with a new narrative, exhibitions, spaces and experiences replacing those of its first iteration. Together, they will offer new ways to explore the future and reflect Dubai’s ambitions for what comes next.

The museum’s renewal builds on everything it has achieved since opening in 2022, while preparing for what comes next. It will introduce entirely new ideas, exhibitions and experiences designed to reflect the evolving needs and possibilities of an ever-changing future.

No. The closure is temporary and will last for only a few months. During this time, we are completely renewing the museum’s exhibitions, enhancing its technologies and interactive experiences, and redesigning the visitor journey. We look forward to welcoming visitors back in the first quarter of 2027.

Interactivity has always been at the heart of the museum’s experience, but the renewed museum will take it even further. Visitors will become active participants in exploring ideas, testing possibilities and shaping the course of their own journey. The experience will bring together a more immersive narrative, new exhibitions and labs, along with many surprises worth coming back to discover.

No. The current exhibitions and experiences will not return in their previous form. They will be replaced by entirely new exhibitions and experiences, brought together through a new narrative and a different visitor journey when the museum reopens.

No. The museum’s iconic architectural design will remain unchanged, while the renewal will focus on the exhibitions and experiences within. This will preserve the distinctive identity that has made the Museum of the Future one of the most recognisable architectural landmarks in Dubai and around the world.

Absolutely. The Museum of the Future is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for everyone. The renewed museum will include spaces, services and experiences designed to ensure a seamless and comfortable visit for People of Determination.

The museum’s main exhibitions and experiences will not be open to visitors during this period. However, some spaces may remain accessible for selected activities and services.

Selected events and programmes may continue during this period. Stay updated through the museum’s official channels for the latest information.

Tickets will be available closer to the museum’s reopening in the first quarter of 2027.
