Dubai’s Museum of the Future has launched an exciting new lineup of summer events as part of its “Summer Pass” initiative, offering visitors unlimited access to exhibitions and activities through September 30. The initiative reflects the museum’s commitment to being a cultural and knowledge hub that connects the public with the latest in science, design, and innovation. This season’s programming is designed to inspire curiosity and creativity among people of all ages.
One of the main highlights is “A Day with an Astronaut,” taking place on July 14 and again on July 21. During this unique event, visitors will have the rare opportunity to meet Emirati astronaut Mohammad Al Mulla, alongside engineers and experts from the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre. Through live discussion sessions, participants will explore the human and scientific aspects of space exploration, gaining insights into life in space, mission preparation, and the future of space science. The event is held in collaboration with the UAE Space Program and offers attendees the chance to ask questions and interact directly with professionals who are shaping the nation’s space future.
Also debuting is the “Picture the Future” photography tour, a hands-on experience for visitors interested in storytelling through photography. Guided by museum experts, the workshop welcomes photographers of all skill levels. Participants will learn the techniques behind visual storytelling and put their skills to the test in some of the museum’s most visually stunning spaces. Morning sessions ensure optimal lighting and allow for practical application of the creative techniques taught during the experience.
In addition to scientific and artistic programming, the Museum of the Future is also offering a refreshing wellness experience through its “Mindful Oasis” sessions. Beginning July 19 and continuing through August 29, the museum will host weekly yoga and meditation sessions on a floor specifically designed to promote relaxation and mental clarity. Led by experienced wellness instructors, these sessions focus on renewing energy, reducing stress, and restoring mental balance—all in a carefully crafted environment designed to stimulate the senses and encourage inner calm.
Visitors will also have the chance to interact with the museum’s architecture in a meaningful way through a dynamic lighting experience that lets them control the building’s Arabic-script facade using sustainable lighting technology. This interactive feature creates a memorable moment for guests while showcasing the seamless integration of art, design, and environmental consciousness.
Another exclusive experience includes the behind-the-scenes tours, offering a look at the smart operational and engineering systems that power one of the most innovative architectural structures in the world. Guests will learn about the advanced technologies and sustainable solutions that support the museum’s daily operations.
The Museum of the Future is also planning to introduce additional events in the coming weeks. These include poetry and literary readings that celebrate cultural creativity, as well as an opportunity to test-drive the latest in smart automotive technology with a showcase of Audi’s newest intelligent vehicles.
Whether you’re intrigued by space exploration, passionate about photography, in search of inner peace, or curious about futuristic architecture, the Museum of the Future offers a summer filled with enriching and inspiring experiences. With its wide range of interactive, educational, and creative activities, the museum continues to lead as a destination for learning, discovery, and imagination.
