committed to enriching the cultural scene of the emirate, firmly rooted in 
the heritage of the United Arab Emirates. It is working on building 
bridges of constructive dialogue between various civilizations and 
cultures to enhance Dubai’s position as a global center for art and 
culture, an incubator for creativity, and a thriving hub for talent.
ETIHAD MUSEUM  
• Etihad Museum in Dubai, historically known as Union House, is a 
museum in the United Arab Emirates that exhibits the nation's social, 
political, cultural, scientific, and military heritage. The museum 
encompasses the Union house, the location where the emirate's 
founding fathers signed a declaration that marked the formation of the 
UAE in 1971 – it is now part of the museum complex.
• There are permanent and temporary halls, a theatre, an educational 
area, and a recreation area at Etihad Museum Dubai, which is divided 
into eight pavilions. The visitors get a glimpse of the UAE’s rich heritage 
and life before the treaty exploring the events from 1968 to the 
culmination of the unification of the Emirates in 1971 through 1974. It 
was designed by Moriyama and Teshima Architects, a Canadian firm 
that has worked on The Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Aga Khan 
Museum in Toronto, and Waterloo Region Museum in Kitchener, Ontario.
