National Museum of Yemen in Aden

The National Museum of Yemen spans three halls on the first floor of the 14 October Palace, displaying artifacts from prehistoric to Islamic periods.

The museum opened in 1966 and underwent a substantial reorganization in 1971 following Yemen's independence from British administration to focus on military heritage.

The museum collection includes over 5,000 archaeological objects, stone inscriptions from ancient kingdoms, and numerous artifacts from the Bronze Age period.

Visitors can access detailed information about various stages of the Yemeni revolution through the museum's computerized documentation system.

The northern corridor features stone pieces with ancient scripts, while dedicated sections present statues and offerings connected to the Kingdom of Sheba.
