The National Museum of Dubai, UAE |
|||
|
|
Conceived as a tourist attraction, the National Museum of Dubai is immensely popular with locals. It celebrates the history, heritage and culture of Dubai and its people. Visitors take a journey through space and time, "disembarking" from a dhow onto the busy waterside suq in Dubai c. 1950. The greater part of the museum is underground; only in Mariners of the Gulf does the world above become apparent - visitors walk below a blue glass ceiling whilst fishing boats above their heads. | ||
