Bait Al-Zubair Museum, Muscat

Bait Al-Zubair Museum, Muscat (must see)

Bait Al Zubair Museum, established in 1998, is a cultural and heritage center that showcases the finest privately owned collection of Omani artifacts belonging to the Zubair family. The center has grown significantly since its inception, and it now boasts one of the most extensive heritage and permanent art collections in Oman. Bait Al Zubair offers an authentic insight into Oman's rich cultural heritage and is recognized by international museums and art galleries as a valuable learning and research resource on Omani heritage.

The complex, which includes six separate buildings and a garden with a miniature Omani village, an aflaj system, and a variety of indigenous plants and trees, is a serene and beautiful place to visit. The buildings themselves are as much a part of the collection as the thousands of artifacts on display.

Bait Al Zubair Museum houses a carefully curated, ever-evolving private collection that reflects Oman's cultural heritage and unique identity. The collection features traditional Omani weaponry, jewelry, costume, household utensils, and furniture, as well as early European maps and prints of the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa, early photographs, satellite images, coins, stamps, musical instruments, documents, manuscripts, and books.
