MrBeast & Chris Hemsworth Spotted at Abu Dhabi’s Newest Museums

YouTube star MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, made a high-profile stop in Abu Dhabi alongside Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth, with the pair touring two of the emirate’s newest cultural landmarks. Their visit to the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi and the immersive art experience teamLab Phenomena was captured in a video shared by Visit Abu Dhabi. Footage from the visit shows MrBeast exploring the Natural History Museum with his partner, Thea Booysen, pausing at dinosaur fossil displays and interacting with a bird of prey, before moving on to teamLab Phenomena’s large-scale digital installations. The scenes highlight both the museum’s natural history focus and teamLab’s technology-driven environments, which rely on light, movement and audience interaction. MrBeast was in the UAE for the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai, where he took part in panel discussions and appeared in content alongside regional creators. He is currently the world’s most-subscribed YouTuber and is best known for large-scale challenge videos, elaborate stunts and high-value giveaways. Beyond entertainment, his work includes Beast Philanthropy, which supports food banks, housing initiatives and clean-water projects, as well as commercial ventures such as the snack brand Feastables and the restaurant concept MrBeast Burger. Hemsworth, who was announced as a brand ambassador for Abu Dhabi in November, joined the visit as part of the emirate’s broader push to spotlight its growing cultural scene to international audiences. The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi opened to the public in November and was developed around the idea that museums should ignite curiosity and imagination, rather than function purely as repositories of facts.
