Zayed National Museum, National museum in Saadiyat Island, United Arab Emirates
The museum complex features five steel towers shaped like falcon wings, reaching heights of up to 125 meters above the central podium.
The museum project was initiated in 2010 as a tribute to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who led the formation of the United Arab Emirates.
The exhibition galleries present artifacts and documents chronicling the regional heritage from ancient settlements through pearl diving to modern developments.
The museum includes six permanent gallery spaces connected by walking paths, with detailed information panels in Arabic and English throughout the complex.
Each of the five steel towers contains specialized environmental systems that naturally direct cool air through the exhibition spaces.
