NIZWA: Since its inauguration, the Nizwa Museum has quickly become a cornerstone of cultural exploration in Oman, attracting over 21,000 visitors within its first year.
Located in the heart of the historic city, the museum offers an immersive journey into Nizwa’s illustrious past, showcasing ancient artefacts, rare manuscripts and interactive exhibits that bring Omani traditions to life.
Visitors have particularly praised the museum’s interactive displays, which allow them to virtually explore historic landmarks and learn about traditional crafts such as pottery and silverwork. Regular cultural events, such as storytelling sessions and live demonstrations by artisans, have further enriched the visitor experience.
Plans for the museum’s second year include expanded educational programmes for schools, partnerships with international museums and thematic exhibitions that delve deeper into Oman’s multifaceted history. By bridging the past and present, the Nizwa Museum continues to inspire curiosity and pride among both residents and tourists. — ONA
