A new natural history museum in Abu Dhabi will take visitors on a 13.8-billion-year journey through time and space.

Called the Abu Dhabi Natural History Museum and set to open in 2025, the museum will be located on Saadiyat Island, in the Saadiyat Cultural District.

The project was officially unveiled by Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office.

A spokesperson for the Department of Culture of Tourism said: "Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi will showcase thousands of unique natural wonders from Earth and beyond, taking visitors on a 13.8-billion-year inspirational journey and providing a thought-provoking glimpse into our planet's future.

"Featuring some of the rarest natural history wonders from Earth and beyond, visitors will travel through time and space: from the beginning of the universe to a thought-provoking perspective into our planet's future."
