A brand‑new museum opened in Abu Dhabi on November 22. It’s called the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, and it takes families on a journey through time — from the beginning of the universe all the way to today.

Inside, visitors saw exciting things like a real piece of the Moon they could touch and a space rock even older than the Sun. One of the main highlights was a display of two huge dinosaurs called Tyrannosaurus rex that looked like they were about to fight!

Another part of the museum showed what Abu Dhabi looked like millions of years ago. Back then, it wasn’t a desert but a green savanna filled with giraffes, crocodiles and even elephants.

The final gallery gave families a message about protecting nature. One display showed the skeleton of a dodo bird — a type of bird that no longer exists because of how humans treated the environment.

The museum was built for everyone to enjoy and learn from. It helps people understand how our planet has changed and what we can all do to care for it in the future.
