Zayed Museum to tell story of UAE’s history

The Zayed Museum, which is set to open next year, will tell the story of the UAE’s founding father, and the history of the country, Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development, told the Federal National Council yesterday (Tuesday).

Shaikh Nahyan was responding to a question by Ahmad Obaid Al Mansouri, an FNC member from Dubai, about the UAE’s contribution to human heritage and civilisation and the establishment of a national history museum.

To be built at the heart of the Saadiyat Cultural District, the Zayed National Museum will be fittingly elevated above the rest of the cultural district at its highest point.

“It will tell the story of the region’s history and the unification of the UAE through the life and person of Shaikh Zayed,” Shaikh Nahyan said.
