Etihad Museum

The Etihad Museum honours the founding of the United Arab Emirates through a new museum integrated with the historic Union House. Situated on Dubai’s waterfront, the building offers a striking visual with its parabola-shaped pavilion and subterranean museum. Its scroll-like form mimics the parchment paper of the Constitution, with an entrance featuring bronze metal text that cites the nation’s founding philosophy.
