The Museum Kuwait
About This Museum
Tucked away on the top floor of the bustling Olympia Mall in Salmiya, The Museum Kuwait is a surprising and welcome oasis of calm. It feels less like a traditional, hushed institution and more like walking into a beautifully curated private collection. You'll find yourself moving from intricate Islamic art to vintage Kuwaiti photography, all displayed with a modern, almost gallery-like sensibility. The space is intimate but thoughtfully arranged, making it a perfect cultural pitstop during a day of shopping or city exploration.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning array of dhows and traditional boats, which tell the story of Kuwait's maritime soul. The collection of historic maps and globes offers a fascinating glimpse of how the world viewed this region centuries ago.
