Zayed National Museum's Permanent Collection

More than a museum, the Zayed National Museum feels like a space designed for contemplation. From its architecture imagined by Norman Foster to the way the exhibitions are staged, everything pushes you to slow down, observe and take perspective. And maybe that’s why this museum says so much about the UAE itself: a country built on vision, ambition and elevation. Recently listed among the world’s most beautiful museums by the Prix Versailles 2026, the Zayed National Museum is also the only museum from the Middle East selected this year.
