Zayed National Museum
The Zayed National Museum will honour the late leader of the UAE, H.H. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and will provide a new source of inspiration to the world. The museum will provide a fitting testament to the life and times of this towering national figure, to his inspired vision and to the legacy he left behind. Given the institution’s central location and overarching importance, twelve of the world’s top architectural firms participated in a competition to create the most appropriate and awe-inspiring design for this modern Arabian icon. The Pritzker Prize winning Foster + Partners were declared winners, and their iconic design will soon be unveiled to the world.
To celebrate the launch of the Zayed National Museum an exhibition will open at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi as an extension of the existing Saadiyat Cultural District Exhibition. This exhibit will explore the concept and vision for the museum, showcasing the new Foster + Partners design, and is due to open soon.
