NFTs or non-fungible tokens are basically cryptographic assets with unique identification codes and metadata. One can’t trade or exchange these at equivalency.

There are 30 displays, each between 43 to 85 inches, where visitors get to see artwork by local and international artists.

The Museum of the Future in Dubai is going to be extraordinary in many terms. First of all, the structure of the museum is designed in torus shape wherein the circle is symbolic of humanity and knowledge and the void symbolises the unknown future. Each floor of the museum will host interactive exhibitions on climate change, ecology and space travel among others.

This incredible museum is scheduled to open in late 2022. Situated in Seoul, this brand new museum is dedicated to all things robotics. One of the prime draws of the museum would be the fact that the futuristic sphere-like structure of the museum is partially built by robots along with Turkey-based architects. Robots have been used in molding, welding, and assembling the metal plates covering the façade.

While it is not a classic example of a museum, Miami's new ReefLine is a unique attraction that will surely draw art lovers and diving enthusiasts from all over.

Though it’s not a “brand new” museum, the extension to the famous Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia has certainly added a hint of newness in the whole place in terms of design! The architecture features rectangular pavilions offering spectacular views of the Sydney Harbor. The new structure will have exhibition space to host more than 2 million visitors per year!
