While museums worldwide typically celebrate history, this exceptional museum focuses on the future. Majed Al Mansoori, MOTF Deputy Executive Director, explains that the aim of this museum is to serve as an entryway into a world of possibilities.

Exploring this museum offers a chance to dive into visionary concepts. Take the OSS Hope, for example, which serves as a representation of humanity's potential future habitat in space. Here, visitors can gain insights into what life might resemble on a massive space station in the year 2071.

Another notable feature is The Heal Institute, a forward-looking institution operating in the year 2071, dedicated to employing advanced technologies for rectifying environmental damage caused by climate change. Families with children can explore the 'Future Heroes' area, an exhibition primarily designed to engage younger visitors in a playful setting. Mansoori adds, "We view the museum as a holistic laboratory for envisioning future cities, much like Dubai."
