The historic signing of the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates, the raising of the first UAE flag, and the formation of the United Arab Emirates as a country on 2 December 1971 took place within the area that forms the museum today. The museum is designed as a document to signify the signing of the UAE constitution. It costs 25 AED (6.81 USD) for an adult to visit it.

The museum was designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects in the shape of a manuscript, with seven columns built into the museum to resemble the pens used to sign the original declaration. The building has eight permanent pavilions:

Pavilion One: Shows a documentary film about the history of the UAE.

Pavilion Two: Houses a panoramic interactive map highlighting the era before the formation of the federation.

Pavilion Three: An interactive timeline that demonstrates key historical events before the union.

Pavilion Six: A homage to the important moments and challenges confronted by the founding fathers before 1971.

Pavilion Seven: This is dedicated to the UAE Constitution and includes the actual declaration itself.

Pavilion Eight: The final pavilion is an open gallery celebrating the newborn nation.
