If you think museums are boring, this collaboration will change your perspective. The Natural History Museum in Abu Dhabi has teamed up with Snap Inc. to create an AR experience, turning the space into an immersive tour through the universe and Earth’s past. Imagine moving through different eras, with prehistoric worlds layered right onto the real building.
One of the first things you’ll notice is how the museum itself changes around you. Put on Spectacles by Snap, and see how the museum’s main atrium transforms into a Jurassic-style environment filled with massive ancient creatures. You’ll spot life-sized dinosaurs and marine reptiles appearing around.
And if you want to go deeper, this tech unlocks hands-free AR moments. So don’t be alarmed if a towering dinosaur appears right in front of you, or a full-scale blue whale floats through the room. You can also switch into an X-ray-style view and see the anatomy of every creature.
Details about this AR experience are still on the way, but the Natural History Museum is already worth a visit. The newly opened space in Abu Dhabi is packed with impressive exhibits. If you’re planning to check it out, get entry tickets via Platinumlist and explore what’s already available.
Wondering what’s waiting for you inside the Natural History Museum? Here’s a look at some of the exhibits and activities you can explore.
Stay tuned for more events, things to do in Abu Dhabi, and events worth leaving the house for.
