This was my second visit to the museum and this museum mesmerizes me everytime. All the historical facts are very well displayed. We go back to that era. Entire history of Oman is beautifully written and explained like an engaging story. The museum is very neatly maintained. We actually feel that we are on the battlefield. Salute to all the brave people who laid down their lives to resurrect Oman.

Great place. Housed in the old amazing fort. Very comprehensive exhibitions. Covering Oman's history. Or rather the people living in this areas under constant fighting with neighbours. From historic times up til today, after the independence from the Portuguese in 1650. Tons of weapons. Historical and from all over the world, gathered from the many forces invading and internal conflicts that have taken place in the region. Quite interesting, to me, the development of the defence system and fortresses. Outdoors, lots of ground vehicles and a few airplanes. Recommended!
