Sharjah Museums

The best shows and exhibits at Sharjah Mueseums in March

By Georgina Wilson-Powell

  • Sharjah Museums

Often overlooked, Sharjah has a rich legacy of arts, heritage and culture. Home to 17 first-class museums, packed with art, treasures and artefacts from Islamic culture and history, they look in depth at the heritage of Sharjah to the wider region along with archaeology, science, children’s learning and natural history.

Under the leadership and patronage of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah and Member of the Supreme Council, the Sharjah Museums Department was established in 2006 to oversee and link the current and future museums of Sharjah. The Museum’s aim is, through its facilities, exhibitions, and programmes, to encourage and support learning, research and community outreach. This March, the Museums Department is hosting weekly events for adults, children and families.
