Agata Kurzela Studio has designed the interiors of the hospitality, gathering and research spaces at Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This project reimagines the museum as a place of hospitality, gathering and research, extending its role beyond the exhibition.

Through a curatorial and design approach developed by Agata Kurzela Studio, in collaboration with local designers, artists and makers, the spaces showcase contemporary voices grounded in regional culture.

As a result, histories of ritual, material traditions and craft become a framework for translating cultural narratives into contemporary spatial language, creating connections between past and present.
