Zayed National Museum Debuts Modern Cultural Milestone

Zayed National Museum opened with a nighttime celebration that presented the UAE’s heritage and vision through bold storytelling. The program introduced the museum as a cultural landmark dedicated to the life and legacy of Sheikh Zayed.

Nova delivered a drone sequence that used precise movement and vivid color to shape the sky in harmony with the event design. Formations echoed the museum’s architecture and core themes, with iconic symbols and synchronized aerial patterns that elevated the music and lighting on the ground. The drones created a defining moment for the museum’s debut and reinforced the opening as a modern cultural milestone.
