Bait Al Zubair is a heritage and cultural centre that opened its carved wooden doors to the public in 1998. It is funded by its founders, the Zubair family. The centre displays the family’s collection of Omani artefacts, which is considered to be the finest that is privately owned. With its growing collection, Bait al Zubair now houses one of the largest heritage and permanent art collections in the country and serves as a real window on Oman’s rich heritage and culture. Since it opened, the museum has expanded into a cultural complex that continues to evolve and is internationally recognized by museums and art galleries who work as partners to deliver temporary exhibitions or use them as a learning and research resource on Omani heritage.
