The Museum of Middle East Modern Art in Dubai UAE by UNStudion

The Museum of Middle East Modern Art, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The completion of the museum in 2011, will be another celebration of the importance of Dubai Creek as a new cultural hub within Dubai as a global city.

The museum, based on the form of a dhow (a traditional Arab sailing vessel), will holds a variety of spaces to exhibit Arts and Culture such as exhibitions, art galleries, leasable workshop spaces, auditorium, and amphitheatre for live performances and international festivals.

In addition, MOMEMA offers a boutique hotel with 60 keys and a boutique retail promenade on the active Culture Village waterfront, as well as a high end signature restaurant on the top level, with 360 degree views of Dubai Creek.
