Description

Essentials about the Etihad Museum in brief

Anyone interested in the history of the United Arab Emirates should definitely have seen the Etihad Museum in Dubai. The architecturally impressive museum building stands right next to the so-called Union House, the birthplace of the UAE. This is where the treaty establishing the first Arab federation was signed in 1971. By the way, the white and arched roof of the museum is supposed to remind of the shape of the treaty and its seven columns symbolize the pens that were used when the treaty was signed.

The exhibitions in the Etihad Museum

In the museum, visitors can learn about the history of the Arab Emirates in eight pavilions. A special focus is on the years before and after the founding of the federation. A total area of more than 25,000 square meters not only houses exhibition rooms, but also a library, a training center, a restaurant and a temporary exhibition area.
