There’s a\u00a0Dubai Public Library branch within the museum<\/h4>\n

Visitors will be able to read\u00a0three thousand different titles on the UAE\u2019s national and social history. There are pictures, movies and documents of the country between the years\u00a01968 to 1974.<\/p>\n

The museum complex extends across the Union House building<\/h4>\n

The Union House has a 123-meter flag pole, a parking building and\u00a0outdoor parking spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s some interesting stuff…<\/h4>\n

The museum’s\u00a0new permanent pavilion is inspired by the shape of a manuscript, with seven columns which emulate the pens used to sign the 1971 Union agreement, while the museum\u2019s identity is inspired from the colours of the UAE flag, the Union\u2019s identity and the seven emirates.<\/p>\n
