Sadu House, Museum and cultural center in Kuwait City, Kuwait.

Sadu House is a heritage house and museum in Kuwait City, near the Kuwait National Museum. The building, the first in Kuwait made of reinforced concrete, has four courtyards: the diwaniya, guest, kitchen and harem courtyards. Its rooms display pottery motifs of houses and mosques.

The house was built of mud in 1936, then bought by Youssef Al-Marzouq, who demolished it and rebuilt it as Kuwait's first reinforced-concrete house. In 1938 it was sold to Shireen Behbehani, who made alterations. The government acquired it in the 1960s, and in 1979 the Al Sadu Society founded the center to preserve Sadu weaving.

Sadu weaving is a Bedouin craft of hand-woven geometric shapes, and the house is named for it. By 1984 the Al Sadu Society had registered 300 Bedouin women who produced about seventy items each week. Annual art exhibitions and training courses are held in the house.

Sadu House stands near the Kuwait National Museum, so it can be combined with a visit there. The building is organised around four courtyards: the diwaniya, guest, kitchen and harim courtyards, which give an idea of how far you will walk inside. Allow time to watch the weaving and to look through the textile shop.

The interior chambers feature decorative ceramic patterns showing traditional mud houses and mosques from Kuwait's past. These designs create a setting that reflects the region's architectural heritage.
