In Pictures: Inside the Museum of the Future

The interior of the museum is divided into seven levels and the narrative of the Museum of the Future is told in five chapters: 1) OSS Hope 2) Heal Institute 3) Al Waha (Oasis) 4) Tomorrow Today and 5) Future Heroes.

OSS Hope chapter 1 at Museum of the Future: The museum makes true with its intention of sending a message of hope – literally and figurately.

The Museum is as impressive from the outside as in the inside. One will have a feeling that is is indeed a “living museum”, with the Arabic calligraphy engraved on the glittering wall inspiring visitors to think about the future.

OSS Hope chapter 1: The space journey is made complete with a docking experience on OSS Hope.

Heal Institute chapter 2: Visitors will experience an ecosystem simulator tested for new species. Here, they will enter a digital Amazon, where tropical forests come alive and people will have a better understanding of how climate change is affecting our environment.

Heal Institute chapter 2: Visitors will be ushered to enter the ‘Vault of Life’, a DNA library of thousands of species, where they can explore and discover new species and participate in a global effort to repair the damages done by climate change.

Chapter 3 Al Waha(Oasis): Taking a break from loads of information, the next and third chapter of the jounery to the future is Al Waha or The Oasis (in English). This is an immersive experience advocating promotion of mental health. The future of wellness is a travel to a sanctuary free from digital bondage. Here, visitors are reconnected to their human senses and brought to a ‘safe sanctum’ where they can find inner peace for the mind, body and spirit.

Tomorrow Today chapter 4: Emerging from a relaxing environment, one will now have a clearer mindset to welcome tomorrow, today. In this next sanctum, one explores near-future technologies from the world’s leading innovators.

Tomorrow Today chapter 4: The question – what can we expect in the next decade or 50 years from now – is answered by designers, researchers and corporations responding to man’s future challenges. The future of mobility, customised and intelligent management, automation, flight to space, artificial Intelligence, health and wellness, medical technology, climate change – all these are presented and visitors are asked what they can do to provide a better future for everyone.

Future heroes chapter 5 at Museum of the Future. This is the final stop – Museum of the Future’s dedicated space for children where they can explore and play. But this is more than a playground, this is an imagination lab, where kids are encouraged to develop future-proof skills. They imagine, design and build their own future.
