Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi

Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi invites visitors on an extraordinary journey through the origins of the universe, the richness of life on Earth, and the natural heritage of the Arabian Peninsula.

Located in the Saadiyat Cultural District, the museum spans 35,000 square meters. Designed by Mecanoo, its striking form draws inspiration from desert rock formations.

Highlights You Can’t Miss

View rare meteorites from outer space and discover exceptional dinosaur fossils, including the world-renowned Tyrannosaurus rex “Stan.” Walk through immersive recreations of Abu Dhabi’s prehistoric landscapes. See fossils of ancient marine creatures that once swam in the waters covering this region millions of years ago.
