Dubai - in my eyes (12)

at the Dubai Museum … an outdoors scene showing the interior traditional living from many years ago.

The Dubai Museum is the main museum in Dubai and is located in the Al Fahidi Fort, built in 1787 and is the oldest existing building in Dubai. The museum was opened in 1971 and is presenting the traditional way of life in the Emirate of Dubai. One can see the fort constructed and the various displays that go along with it. From the fort, there is a path to the galleries, which display the general culture of the land, especially in the 1800s. It includes local antiques as well as artifacts from African and Asian countries that traded with Dubai. It also includes several dioramas showing life in the emirate before the advent of oil, in addition to artifacts from recent discoveries as old as 3000 BC.
