  Impressive museum collection with precise vision of the past and present curated beautifully. Even my two 9yrs and 7yrs daughter spend hours at the children area and surprisingly they love looking at some of the amazing and colourful artifacts. Very delicious middle eastern cuisine at the museum restaurant even though would be nicer if the museum can cater for middle to lower price of menu or restaurant for the locals. Stunning interiors and extremely friendly man greeting us at the counter, this museum definitely not to be missed.
