If you have ever wished you could peek into an innovation lab without a corporate badge, Tomorrow Today at the Museum of the Future is your chance.

What makes Tomorrow Today different

Unlike purely speculative exhibits, Tomorrow Today focuses on technologies that already exist, are in late-stage research, or are being trialed in select markets.

Expect to see themes such as:

  • Future mobility: from micro-mobility to autonomous concepts.
  • Health and biotech: prosthetics, diagnostics, and regenerative devices.
  • Built environment: smart materials, adaptive facades, and energy systems.

This floor is a reminder that the future is not a single invention, but a collage of small, concrete advances.


How to explore if you work in tech or policy

If you already operate in technology, sustainability, or governance, approach Tomorrow Today like a living brief:

  • Notice which technologies are framed as solutions versus open questions.
  • Pay attention to the values and trade-offs mentioned in labels and media.
  • Ask yourself how these prototypes would play out in your own city or sector.

Carry a small notebook or notes app; you may leave with ideas for pilots, research topics, or partnerships.


Questions to ask yourself on this floor

Try using these prompts as you walk:

  • What problem is this technology actually trying to solve?
  • Who benefits most from it, and who might be left out?
  • What habits or regulations would need to change for it to work?

Suggested note-taking template

If you work in innovation, policy, or design, jot down short answers in a simple table like this (on paper or in a notes app):

Technology / exhibit Problem it tackles Risks or trade-offs Ideas for my context

Even a few quick lines can turn Tomorrow Today from "cool gadgets" into actionable inspiration.


Mini FAQ for professionals

Can I bring clients or teams here for workshops?
Many facilitators use MOTF as a field lab for strategy sessions. Check in advance about group booking options and any corporate packages.

Is Tomorrow Today always the same?
No. Because its focus is on emerging tech, specific exhibits can rotate over time, so you may find new content on repeat visits.

By the time you leave Tomorrow Today, you may not remember every single prototype, but you will likely remember how it felt to live in a world where these technologies are normal.
