House of Folklore, Museum of traditional heritage in Sanaa, Yemen
The House of Folklore displays collections of traditional costumes, handicrafts, and musical instruments representing the diverse cultural traditions of Yemen.
The museum, established in 2004, began its mission to document local traditions during a period of rapid cultural transformation in Yemen.
The institution maintains an extensive collection of textile arts, metalwork, and pottery that demonstrate the craftsmanship techniques passed through Yemeni generations.
The museum organizes regular workshops and educational programs teaching traditional craft techniques to children and adults throughout the calendar year.
In March 2021, the museum published a collection of Yemeni Jewish poetry, translated from Hebrew manuscripts donated by Rabbi Yahya Yusuf.
