I have posted photographs of the Museum of the Future before, but this is the first close-up of the structure, showing in quite a lot of detail the calligraphy built into the facade – the writing on the building is actually three quotes by Sheikh Mohammed. I thought it’s a fitting post, considering on January 5th, it has been 20 years since Sheikh Mohammed assumed the office of prime minister. The incredible thing is that I was already here in Dubai when that happened!
For this post I thought I would add a couple of images I photographed in 2020 at Nova Composites, the company who was building all the puzzle pieces for the museum’s facade.
