The British Museum has agreed with Abu Dhabi's Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) to act as a consulting partner on the development of the new Zayed National Museum in the emirate. Services will range from advice on the design and construction of the new museum to educational and curatorial programming and training. The museum's designs by UK-based architects Foster + Partners will be unveiled later this year. The institution is scheduled to open in 2012/2013.
