The Visitor’s Pavilion is the main entrance for visitors to the Etihad Museum. The unique architecture is designed in the shape of a curling manuscript supported by seven golden columns, symbolizing the paper of the 'Union Agreement' and the seven pens used by the seven rulers of the Emirates to sign the document that created the United Arab Emirates. The iconic Visitor's Pavilion and museum spaces were designed by the Toronto based Moriyama & Teshima Architects.
