Al Ain National Museum, National museum at Central District, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.
The museum presents two main sections across 1200 square meters, featuring archaeological findings and ethnographic displays about regional life through centuries.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan established this first museum of the United Arab Emirates in 1969, selecting the Sultan bin Zayed fort as its location.
The ethnographic section contains collections of traditional jewelry, agricultural tools, and educational materials that represent pre-oil era daily activities in the Emirates.
The facility opens daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, except Fridays when hours are 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and remains closed on Mondays.
Among the exhibited items stands a moon rock, received as a gift from NASA following the Apollo 17 mission to the lunar surface.
