The National Museum - Sultanate of Oman

The National Museum of Oman spans 14 exhibition halls presenting 5,500 artifacts that document Omani civilization from prehistoric times through modern history.

Established by Royal Decree in 2013, the museum opened its doors in 2016 as Oman's first cultural institution with international preservation standards.

The Maritime History Gallery illustrates Oman's naval connections through centuries of seafaring, trading networks, and coastal settlements across the Indian Ocean.

The museum welcomes visitors Saturday through Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00, and Fridays from 14:00 to 18:00, with final entry 30 minutes before closing.

The National Museum became the first institution in the Middle East to implement Arabic Braille systems and open storage facilities for its collections.
