The Zayed National Museum will open in December 2025 within the Saadiyat Cultural District, which already hosts landmarks like the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Designed by Foster + Partners, the museum features five steel towers that symbolize falcon wings, embodying cultural significance while showcasing sustainable architecture. The museum's exhibits will include artefacts from early human settlements and notable artifacts like the Blue Quran manuscript. A landscaped garden will reflect Sheikh Zayed's life, contributing to the cultural strategy of Saadiyat Island's institutions.
The anticipated Zayed National Museum is set to open in December 2025 in the Saadiyat Cultural District, joining a growing network of landmark institutions such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Designed by Foster + Partners, the museum anchors the island with a bold sculpted form that draws deeply from Emirati heritage while incorporating advanced sustainable technologies.
Commissioned as a tribute to the UAE's Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE's new national museum will be split across two levels.
The museum builds on Sheikh Zayed's vision and values to form part of a broader cultural strategy shared by its neighboring institutions on Saadiyat Island.
