Abu Dhabi’s much-anticipated Zayed National Museum is set to open its doors on December 3, 2025, marking a significant milestone in the UAE’s cultural landscape. Located in the Saadiyat Cultural District, the museum is a tribute to the legacy of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, and his enduring commitment to cultural heritage, education, and national identity. Designed by renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, the museum’s innovative design features five steel structures inspired by the wings of a falcon, symbolizing a key aspect of Emirati culture. The museum offers a journey through the UAE’s history, from ancient artifacts like a 300,000-year-old stone tool discovered in Al Ain to the life and values of Sheikh Zayed. Ticket sales have commenced, with adult tickets priced at Dh70, while minors, senior Emiratis, residents, people of determination, and journalists on assignment can enter free of charge. Students and teachers can avail discounted tickets for Dh35. The museum’s opening reaffirms Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub for culture and learning.
