There are too many museums in Abu Dhabi in the UAE, all very modern, museums are world famous architectural designs, each is very shocking, the interior is stored with a lot of ancient Arab artworks.
Zayed National Museum is a very worth visiting attraction, there are many about desert daily necessities, methods, etc., so that tourists can understand more about how the desert lives! There are also some architectural styles!
Located near Sultan Castle, the National Museum of Abu Dhabi is the oldest museum in the UAE. The museum, divided into ethnic and archaeological history, allows visitors to have a holistic understanding of the traditions and culture of the UAE along with the relics of the land that lived in the UAE 7,500 years ago. The national history section of the museum shows the national style before the discovery of oil, most of which are very poor, including a series of black and white photos and three-dimensional clay models from the 1960s, displaying past utensils and techniques, etc., and explaining the different lives of people during the day. The clothing and jewelry section contains a coin minted in 1780. These coins are used as currency and decorations in the southeastern Arabian Peninsula. Necklaces made of Maria Theresa coins, embellished with silver, are very popular with young women. Farming methods and agricultural equipment are also displayed. Fishing and pearl picking have been in existence in the Bay Area for thousands of years, and are also very good reproduction. Traditional musical instruments and artistic techniques are also on display, most notably two 17th-century scriptures and six Koranic texts, all with elaborate decorations. There is also a series of weapons and details of falcon activities. A small partial hall of the museum also exhibited gifts given to Sheikh Zayed at home and abroad.
The National Museum in Abu Dhabi is really worth visiting, in the museum, you can see a lot of items about their lifestyle in the desert, how to survive, and there are pictures, there are videos!
A very modern building with a rich historical and cultural heritage in Abu Dhabi, you can fully understand the local human history, but compared to the interior, this museum is more attractive to me, several wings like the shape is very unique, It's an imaginative architectural work.
