The Museum

Here, visitors can learn about the multifaceted lives of Emirati women down through history. It serves as a comprehensive account of their lifestyle and philosophy over the years, which mirrors the story of the nation. It’s hoped that by examining the past, new light can be shed on the present- enabling a better understanding of female Emirati history, culture and identity.

We quote Rym Ghazal, from the National, Dec 16, 2012:  “Emirati women have been active in every possible role,” Prof Ghubash says. “From their economic roles in setting up businesses and participating in real estate and land sales from as early as the 1950s, to social and humanitarian roles, as well as their important political role in raising the leaders of the country. It is endless. They are involved in every aspect of life.”  “One of a kind in the region, every corner of the museum tells a story, and almost each item can be traced back to its owner and her subsequent story.”
