**★★★★★ Paul Smith — a week ago

This museum has been well designed. Set on two floors [ground & 1st floor]. It's easy to negotiate if you're disabled. It has a central glass lift.

The museum runs through from A to Z on the history of Oman, from old Artifacts to Zanzibar.

The museum also has a nice tea room with an assortment of goodies to tempt any sweet taste buds.

Plan for 1–2 hours depending on how deep you want to go. Nicely built, informative, a

The museum is beautifully designed and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to explore Oman’s rich history from prehistoric times to the modern era.
