To inspire and empower everyone to connect with the natural world.
A vibrant natural history museum, open to the world, bringing people together across cultures and continents, with a strong legacy dedicated to a sustainable future.
"We want the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi to be a lively and engaging centre for everyone who cares about the natural world. We will connect people across generations with nature and each other through powerful exhibitions, accessible visitor and educational programmes, innovative digital experiences, inclusive community science, and access to our exceptional collections. The world is changing rapidly, and it is more important than ever to document the biodiversity, geology and climate of our planet. We invite everyone on our journey to discover nature and the part we play in the natural world."
Dr Peter C. Kjærgaard
Director of the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi
Inspired by natural forms and geological time, the museum’s architecture mirrors the beauty of the natural world.
