Dubai is preparing to open a stunning new cultural landmark — the Duma Dubai Museum of Art, a one-of-a-kind museum that will float on the waters of Dubai Creek.
The project, announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, celebrates Dubai’s creative energy and strengthens its position as a global center for art and culture.
The museum is being designed by Tadao Ando, a world-famous Japanese architect known for his minimalistic and artistic style.
The floating design reflects a perfect blend of innovation, beauty, and sustainability combining art and architecture in a way that has never been seen before in the region.
Sheikh Mohammed praised Abdullah Al Futtaim and Omar Al Futtaim for their contributions to bringing this vision to life, emphasizing how important private sector partnerships are to Dubai’s long-term and sustainable development.
The Duma Museum of Art will not only be an architectural marvel but also a creative hub that connects artists, visitors, and communities from around the world. It will feature exhibitions, cultural events, and installations that celebrate both traditional and modern forms of expression.
Set against the backdrop of Dubai Creek, the museum will add new depth to the city’s skyline and highlight Dubai’s ongoing journey of innovation.
By merging art, culture, and technology, this project will stand as a symbol of the city’s forward-thinking spirit and its dedication to inspiring future generations.
