Description
The National Museum, located in the heart of Muscat, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the treasures of Oman’s cultural heritage. The magnificent new building, opened in July 2016, houses a collection that spans Oman’s history from the earliest human settlement – around two million years ago – to the present day. Sumptuously illustrated with highlights from the sixteen galleries, this book illuminates Oman’s rich maritime, military and religious history.
