It will include the Zayed National Museum, the national museum of the United Arab Emirates which will celebrate the nation’s rich history and culture, as well as honour the legacy of the country’s founding father, late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. There will also be the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, which will include a research and teaching institution that will take visitors on a 13.8-billion-year journey through the story of our universe and our planet.
Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will be a museum celebrating art from the 1960s to the present and the most important artistic achievements of our time.
