teamLab Phenomena is a project that sets the stage for wonder right from the start: the giant white building on the shore of Saadiyat Island looks, in itself, like an alien spacecraft washed ashore—not a single right angle, just flowing forms. And I have to admit, what’s inside fully lives up to the architecture’s ambitions—though not quite as successfully in every respect. To be honest, the museum’s wet zone didn’t really grab me. But further on, the real magic began. The foam installation—clouds of soapy foam living their own lives behind glass. An experience that’s absolutely impossible to capture in a photo. And I have a special fondness for the halls with light and laser installations. Flickering beams cutting through the darkness create luminous objects—this is where you truly feel the reason teamLab exists at all. The rooftop café deserves a special mention—the Japanese teahouse Anko, which seamlessly extends the museum’s atmosphere rather than disrupting it. The veranda overlooking the sea and the sunset is the perfect spot to catch your breath after the flood of impressions inside. Wagashi, tea, coffee—everything is prepared with the same meticulous care as the installations, and you don’t feel for a moment that you’ve stepped into a typical museum café. An added bonus: you can access the terrace even without a ticket to the museum itself, so it works well as a standalone evening destination.

The Zayed Museum in Abu Dhabi is, without exaggeration, one of the most powerful cultural experiences of recent years. The building’s overall silhouette evokes the wing of a falcon in flight—here, the architecture functions as part of the narrative, not merely as a shell. The exhibition is structured around the figure of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan—the founder of the UAE—and this gives the museum a completely different emotional tone compared to traditional history museums. Six permanent galleries take visitors through 300,000 years of the region’s history—from Paleolithic stone tools to the formation of the modern state. A particular highlight is the 18-meter-long replica of a bronze boat, recreated using traditional techniques, along with a collection of personal items and archival materials that make history tangible rather than abstract. In front of the museum lies Al Masar Garden, where the landscape is divided into desert, oasis, and urban zones. A stroll through the garden is a rare occasion when the museum experience begins outdoors rather than at the entrance to the exhibition hall. The visit culminated at the observation deck—in the evening, when the city’s lights had already begun to come on. The panoramic view of Abu Dhabi from above looks completely different at this hour: the austere architecture of the daytime gives way to soft golden-blue lighting, and the entire journey—from ancient artifacts to the modern metropolis outside the window — suddenly comes together into a single narrative of how the past flows into the present. I definitely recommend setting aside at least 3–4 hours for your visit and planning it so that it ends in the evening—the view from the observation deck is well worth it.

I was able to book and receive my ticket in real time. I purchased on my drive to Abu Dhabi and didn't even check again as I knew my tickets would be in my app when I get there. The Museum was a great choice, it looks unappealing outside and the pictures I usually see online were just dinosaurs bones, I thought it was just for children. But it was for everyone, well curated pieces and documented to teach about civilization, evolving into the future. I loved the area dealing with climate change and the artwork, images and technology used throughout. Yes there were lab rooms and challenges at every stage to engage the youth and give a hands on experience for them. Great for adults too.
