Special events, astronaut meetups, wellness weekends, and more at the museum this summer
Dubai: The Museum of the Future has launched an all-new summer season packed with curated cultural, educational, and wellness experiences running from July 1 to September 30, 2025.
Central to this summer initiative is the introduction of the exclusive 'Summer Pass', granting visitors unlimited access to the museum during operating hours, along with special access to seasonal programming and behind-the-scenes tours.
For the first time, pass holders can explore the museum at their leisure throughout the day. The Summer Pass also unlocks access to events not available to regular ticket holders, including intimate experiences that reflect the museum’s mission to foster innovation, creativity, wellness, and lifelong learning.
A major highlight is ‘Meet an Astronaut’, taking place on 14 and 21 July, featuring members of the UAE Space Programme and astronauts from the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC). Visitors will hear first-hand stories of life in space and learn more about the UAE’s expanding ambitions in space exploration.
Starting 14 July, the museum will also offer ‘Capture the Future’, a creative photography experience led by in-house experts. Participants will be guided through the museum’s most visually striking areas during early morning sessions, learning storytelling techniques and capturing the museum’s architectural beauty.
From 19 July to 29 August, weekends at the museum will include ‘Wellness Weekends’ — yoga and meditation sessions hosted at the serene Al Waha space. These sessions will be led by acclaimed instructors and offer a calm, rejuvenating start to each weekend.
In the ‘Light the Future’ activation, select visitors will have the unique chance to illuminate the museum’s iconic facade themselves — literally lighting up the future in a symbolic moment of connection with the landmark.
Also new this summer are exclusive behind-the-scenes tours, offering rare access to the museum’s inner workings. Visitors will explore areas typically closed to the public, from architectural systems to operational hubs.
Additional programming will roll out through the summer, including poetry readings, literary sessions, and test drives of Audi’s latest electric vehicles, adding further excitement to an already dynamic schedule.
