"Since it opened in 2021, New York City's Little Island has hosted an array of cultural programs. Now, a continent away, another cultural destination is in the works - and it's one that could make Dubai more of a go-to art-world destination. That would be the Dubai Museum of Art, or DUMA, the design of which was announced this week. The museum will be situated on Dubai Creek and will, once opened, house an array of modern art and contemporary work."
""We are especially proud to have entrusted the design of DUMA to the world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, whose architecture speaks the language of light, silence, and soul," said Omar Al Futtaim, the CEO of developers Al-Futtaim, in a statement. "In Dubai, his vision for the Museum of Art will stand as a serene dialogue between nature, water, and the human spirit, a masterpiece of restraint and emotion that embodies both ingenuity and timeless elegance, perfectly capturing the depth of his philosophy.""
New York City's Little Island opened in 2021 and has hosted an array of cultural programs, illustrating a trend toward small artificial islands as cultural venues. Dubai plans the Dubai Museum of Art (DUMA) on Dubai Creek, with its design announced this week. The museum will house modern and contemporary art when opened. The project is designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, noted for controlled, sober beauty that communicates contemporary taste. Omar Al Futtaim described Ando's vision as a serene dialogue between nature, water, and the human spirit. The announcement follows other Dubai cultural openings such as Concrete and the Museum of the Future, and no opening date has been provided yet.
