For Zayed National Museum, which opened to the public on 3 December 2025, Factum Arte has realised an extensive body of artworks and installations now permanently on view in Abu Dhabi. Conceived as a tribute to the legacy of the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the museum—designed by Foster + Partners—brings together architecture, landscape and material culture at an unprecedented scale.
Between 2023 and 2025, and working under the guidance of Dr. Peter Magee and the team at Zayed National Museum, Factum Arte developed a wide range of sculptural works, reconstructions and immersive environments that give physical form to the natural and cultural histories of the Emirates. The projects were shaped through sustained dialogue with curators, historians, scientists and craftspeople, drawing on research, advanced digital technologies and hands-on making across Spain and the UAE.
From large-scale sculptural commissions to carefully researched reconstructions and immersive installations, these works explore how knowledge, memory and material can coexist in the museum space. Together they reflect years of collaboration, experimentation and commitment to making heritage tangible, legible and alive for future generations.
