The National Museum of Oman, Muscat

Definitely a must go Museum in Muscat. I would prefer to start with the 7 galleries oh the first floor and then the remaining 7 at the Ground. Closing time is 5 pm.

The National Museum of the Sultanate of Oman is a museum located in Oman. It was developed by the Ministry of Culture and opened to the public in 2016. The museum was established by royal decree in 2013 and opened July 30, 2016.It was designed to be the Sultanate's flagship cultural institution, showcasing the nation’s heritage from the earliest human settlement in the Oman Peninsula some two million years ago through to the present day. As a national institution, the museum is dedicated to ensuring that Oman’s cultural heritage is understood and appreciated not only within the Sultanate, but also internationally. Further, it aims to provide opportunities for cultural expression, innovation, and the transfer of traditional skills and knowledge from one generation to the next.
