Museum of Omani Heritage

The Museum of Omani Heritage is a heritage museum on Al Alam Street in Muscat displaying archaeological objects from different time periods. It presents traditional architecture, agricultural tools, mineral samples, and items related to maritime commerce and trade.

The museum was established in November 1974 and has served for decades to preserve elements of Omani culture. Its founding marked an important step in systematically documenting and presenting the nation's heritage.

The collections showcase traditional firearms, regional art forms, and handcrafted objects representing different periods of Omani life. Visitors can observe everyday items and techniques that shaped how people lived and worked across generations.

The museum is located near the Ministry of Information and is easy to reach. Opening hours can vary throughout the week, so visitors should check specific times before planning a visit.

It was the first museum in the world to use Arabic Braille script in its exhibits. This decision makes the displays accessible to blind and visually impaired visitors and demonstrates an innovative approach to inclusion.
