Etihad Museum
متحف الاتحاد
A museum beside the site where the UAE was founded and signed in 1971, telling the history of the seven emirates coming together to form the nation.
The building is shaped like an unfolded manuscript and seven pens, symbolising the seven emirates signing the founding documents of the nation. Interactive exhibits tell the story of the UAE before and after its founding, the lives of the founding fathers and the Constitution of the Union. Outside, the Union House and Guest House, where the signing took place, have been preserved, and next to them stands a 123-metre-high flagpole. Admission costs around AED 25. It is located at Jumeirah 1 on Jumeirah Beach Road, and is close to Al Jafiliya metro station.
