Damascus Educational Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of old Damascus, this museum feels like stumbling upon a secret. It’s a wonderfully nostalgic journey through the history of Syrian education, where you can almost hear the echoes of schoolchildren from decades past. I was completely charmed by the rows of vintage wooden desks and the incredibly detailed dioramas of historic classrooms. It’s a quiet, intimate space that tells a powerful story about learning and community.
Collection Highlights
The collection shines with its authentic early 20th-century classroom reconstructions, complete with inkwells and old-fashioned abacuses. Don't miss the beautifully preserved scientific instruments and globes used for teaching geography.
