Progress continues on the Natural History Museum in the Cultural District on Saadiyat Island.
The project will cover 35,000 square metres and will aim to take visitors on a 14-billion-year journey
through time and space, from the origins of our universe to the Earth’s future.
Tourism chiefs said the museum is due to be completed at the end of 2025.

It will have a 360-degree view of three museums on the island.

includes a 12-seater Cinema Privé.
