Kuwait National Museum
Standing at the fourth position in the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Kuwait is Kuwait National Museum. Located along the Arabian Gulf Street between Seif Palace and National Assembly, the building was completed in 1983 and designed by French architect Michel Ecochardit. As a destination to discover the history, art as well as culture, the museum displays the country's inner beauty, Kuwaiti life, and traditions. Its gates resemble a typical fortress. Thus, visitors are required to walk through the 'entrance' and out into paths filled with soil piles.
There are four main different areas in Kuwait National Museum, which are:
- The Kuwait Heritage Museum features a representation of "Old Kuwait", which displays various aspects of Kuwaiti life through life-size replicas and models.
- The Planetarium, as its name implies, exhibits all of the artifacts uncovered during the excavations.
- The Archaeological Museum is devoted to the research and understanding of the Universe.
- Boom Al Mouhallab is one of the most significant dhows in Kuwaiti history. However, it can only be seen from the outside. The inside is not yet open to the public.
