Visiting the Oman Museum was a truly enriching and enjoyable experience. The museum is beautifully designed, both architecturally and in the way exhibits are presented. Each section takes you on a journey through different parts of Oman’s rich history—from ancient civilizations to modern developments—offering a well-curated glimpse into the country’s heritage, culture, and achievements. What stood out to me most was the thoughtful and engaging layout of the exhibits. Artifacts, visuals, and multimedia elements are displayed in a way that’s easy to follow, yet informative and captivating. It felt immersive without being overwhelming. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Their friendliness added to the overall positive atmosphere of the museum. It was also a nice surprise to have access to free internet throughout the visit, which made it convenient to look up more information or share the experience in real time. Another great feature is that photography is allowed, which meant I could capture and keep memories of some of my favorite displays. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking to understand more about Oman’s identity, this museum is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended for visitors of all ages.

2 floors with several sessions from ancient history of Oman to modern era, including Islamic presentation. Better follow the instructions at the entrance the guide suggested to start the visiting tour. The short documentary in the 1st floor film room is very informative, separately played in Arabic and English, no subtitles, briefly introduced the history of Oman.

I visited the National Museum of Oman with guests from India, and it was a wonderful experience. The museum is a must-visit for anyone wanting to explore Omani culture, especially expats. It offers a deep insight into Oman’s history and heritage, making it a very educational and interesting place. The museum is well-maintained, not crowded, and an ideal tourist spot. For Omanis, entry is free. For expats with a resident card, there is a different fee structure, and tourists without a resident card pay a separate fee. I recommend visiting before 4 pm as it closes after that. Overall, I had a great experience and left very happy. Highly recommend!😍

its a wonderful museum opposite the sultan's palace a beautiful building i can compare the bahrain museum to the cathar and omani museum the weakest the bahrain museum has almost nothing there the qatar museum is like a local history exhibition the cathar museum is very nice and high quality almost the same or higher level the building is fantastically modern this exhibition carries the oman culture the high standards and the interestingness definitely visit it pay attention that it is usually only open until four in the afternoon and an hour before that you probably won't get a ticket it's only friday it's open until five i recommend it very nice the pictures speak for themselves

You see the history and the epochs of Oman It’s a meditative and relaxing environment The Omanis are so kind and welcoming- friendly and polite For sure you need to see the film ( all about Oman history) in the small cinema inside and also in Arabic language- even if you don’t understand, it worth to listen this amazing sound- I’m sure you will love as I did.

The National Museum of Oman is a must-visit for history lovers! The stunning building houses beautifully preserved artifacts, from ancient manuscripts to intricate jewelry and weapons. I especially loved the collection of old musical instruments, offering a glimpse into Oman’s artistic traditions. The exhibits are well-organized and interactive, making history come alive. Even if you're not a history buff, it's a fascinating place to explore. Highly recommend!
