THE EXPERIENCE
Discover Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi
Stan the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Murchison Meteorite introduce two very different scales of natural history, from prehistoric life to material associated with the solar system's origins. Exhibitions also connect the global narrative to fossils from the UAE and environments that once existed where desert now dominates.
Look beyond the headline specimens to the galleries explaining change over time. That makes the visit useful for adults as well as children attracted by dinosaurs. The building's forms draw inspiration from the natural world, providing an architectural link to the scientific subjects explored inside the museum.
