Museums

• The Dubai Culture and Authority has played a
  significant role in the development and promotion
  of museums in the city. With a vision to preserve
  and showcase the rich cultural heritage of Dubai,
  the authority has established several world-class
  museums that offer unique and immersive
  experiences to visitors.
• One of the notable museums under the Dubai
  Culture and Authority is the Dubai Museum located
  in the Al Fahidi Fort, which is one of the oldest
  buildings in the city. The museum provides a
  captivating journey into Dubai's past, showcasing
  artifacts and exhibits that depict the
  traditional Bedouin way of life, pearl diving,
  and the city's transformation into a modern
  metropolis. Visitors can explore the various
  galleries, including historical dioramas,
  traditional Emirati dwellings, and interactive
  displays that offer insights into the region's
  history, culture, and traditions.
• Additionally, the Dubai Culture and Authority has
  played a vital role in the establishment of the
  Etihad Museum, which commemorates the founding of
  the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its subsequent
  development. The museum offers a blend of
  interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations,
  and archival materials that narrate the story of
  the UAE's formation, highlighting the values of
  unity, tolerance, and progress. Through engaging
  displays, visitors can gain a deeper
  understanding of the UAE's political history, its
  leaders, and the achievements that have shaped
  the nation.

  platforms for locals and tourists to connect with
  Dubai's history, art, and identity. These museums
