Dubai’s Museum of the Future temporarily closed from 1 September for a major overhaul of its exhibitions. The museum said new immersive experiences are expected in 2027, so residents and visitors should check reopening information before planning a visit.

The details

The Museum of the Future temporarily closed from 1 September 2026 as it began replacing its current galleries with a new generation of immersive and interactive experiences.

The museum opened in February 2022 and said the next phase would explore scientific, technological and societal developments shaping the future. More than 1,000 public ideas were expected to inform the new experience. A reopening was anticipated around the museum’s fifth anniversary in the first quarter of 2027, but the timing should be checked against the museum’s latest official visitor information.

The closure is a concrete change to a major Dubai attraction, not a permanent shutdown. It may affect residents planning visits, school trips or visiting-family itineraries.
