Etihad Museum
A modern museum at Union House that explains the political story behind the formation of the UAE.
Etihad Museum gives essential context to a city often experienced through what has been built most recently. The museum centres on the formation of the United Arab Emirates and the people, negotiations and documents behind it, all on the site associated with Union House. The architecture and setting make the history legible before the galleries even begin.
Allow enough time to read rather than treating it as a quick photo stop. It pairs naturally with Jumeirah, the coast or a wider day exploring Dubai's civic history.
