Etihad Museum, Dubai

The Etihad Museum, located in the historic Jumeirah area of Dubai, is dedicated to telling the story of the formation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971. Designed with a striking curved structure that resembles a manuscript, the museum features interactive exhibits, photographs, and documents that bring the nation’s journey to life. It stands on the very site where the UAE's founding fathers signed the union agreement, making it a place of deep national significance. The surrounding landscape is designed to complement the museum’s modern architecture while honoring its historic roots — a balance supported by ACO’s discreet and effective drainage systems that help preserve both form and function.
