Dubai's First Art Museum

The Dubai Museum of Art (DUMA), a private institution funded by Al Futtaim Group, will be built on a jetty in Dubai Creek.

The building, designed by Tadao Ando, is expected to be shaped like a curved shell and will feature five storeys.

No timeline has been given for the museum, nor news about how its collection will be assembled.

The model was unveiled at a ceremony attended by high-level Emirati figures, including the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
