Dubai's Museum of the Future to close in September ahead of 2027 relaunch

Dubai's Museum of the Future will temporarily close in mid-September 2023 as it undergoes a major renovation and overhaul. The closure is part of a planned restructuring aimed at updating its exhibitions to reflect evolving scientific, technological, and societal developments. The museum, which opened in February 2022, will reopen in the first quarter of 2027, marking its fifth anniversary. During the closure, current exhibitions will remain accessible until renovations begin. Over 1,000 public suggestions were collected via social media to guide the redesign. The new visitor experience will focus on interactive exploration of future opportunities and challenges, featuring a 'renewed narrative' and 'refreshed identity'. Exact dates for closure and reopening have not been finalized, though the Dubai Future Week event is still set to take place in November.
