DUBAI, 6th February, 2023 (WAM) — The Museum of the Future has opened a physical store with an AI-driven audio offering limited-edition and exclusive items including replicas from some of its most popular exhibits.
Many of the items are inspired, designed, and made by local designers as well as internationally renowned artists, including Jason Bruges and Ally Powell.
The range includes a miniature version of “The Centre”, a creative piece of artwork inspired by the Al Waha exhibit. It also features an exclusive brass replica of the “Monument to the Pioneers”, a gallery art piece – in the form of the solar system and inspired by the OSS Hope exhibit.
Majed Al Mansoori, Deputy Executive Director of the Museum of the Future said that the stocking a wide range of exclusive, limited-edition products and memorabilia including unique items from local designers, offer everyone the chance to take home a piece of the future.
Around half of the products available are entirely bespoke to the museum, including those inspired by the cursive Arabic script, or Thuluth, that decorates the façade. These special collections celebrate both Arabic calligraphy and the 3D-printing technology used in the museum’s construction. In addition, there is a range of products, such as keychains, magnets, tote bags, coin purses, pouches, scarfs, books, and coffee sets.
Visitors can purchase clothes made from recycled materials, high-quality educational games inspired by the future, and limited-edition creations by local Emirati designers. For younger visitors, gifts for children inspired by the Future Heroes exhibit can also be found at the shop.
