متحف الكويت الوطني

On December 31, 1957, the Kuwait National Museum was inaugurated.

At that time, it was located in the palace of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah in the Dasman area (formerly the Diwan of Sheikh Khazal). In 1976, the contents of the museum were moved to Bayt Al-Badr, one of Kuwait’s traditional houses, in preparation for the new museum, which opened in 1983.

The museum’s ancient, Islamic, and popular artifacts were transferred to the museum, which became a cultural and civilizational center with the goals and mission of preserving heritage and disseminating knowledge. The Kuwait National Museum includes:

1. The Popular Heritage Hall.

2. The Antiquities Hall.

3. The Planetarium Building.

4. Boom Al-Muhallab.
