As of January 2025, the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi is nearing completion, with its opening anticipated later this year. The museum is dedicated to celebrating the rich history and cultural heritage of the United Arab Emirates, honoring the legacy of the nation's Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

Architectural Progress: The museum's design, featuring five steel structures inspired by falconry, symbolizes the UAE's cultural traditions. These structures are prominently visible, indicating significant progress in construction.

Zayed National Museum, 24 May 2024:

Zayed National Museum is part of the cultural development programme on Saadiyat island in Abu Dhabi, designed by event communications and content developed by the British Museum. The museum consists of four main galleries within an extraordinary architectural landmark designed by fosters + partners. The kettle like interiors for the galleries provided an experiential challenge to engage the visitors with the height of the space, leading to sculptural moments in each. The four galleries focused on subjects on world subjects told through the lens of the UAE; Science + Learning, Faith + Islam, People + Society and Heritage and Culture.

As Lead Designer on the Faith + Islam gallery my focus was in developing a design that combined architecture, content and visitor experience in a unique and engaging way. Due to the collaborative nature of the project between internal team members, other companies and the client a great deal of work in developing the design needed to be visual and clear. The range of the cross company collaboration led me to working individually internally, utilising the team only in the detail stages of the design.
