ghalya's museum of modern art
Muttrah, Oman Phone: 968 24 711640 www.ghalyasmuseum.comAbout
Ghalya's Museum of Modern Art is an exclusive addition to the Omani cultural scene, opened in January 2011. The Old house is a group of typical Omani houses from the period of 1950 to 1975 that tell the story of the Omanis and their deeply rooted heritage, customs and traditions. The Wedding, the Kitchen and Display Rooms, the Mother and Children's Room, the Winter Room, the Majlis (Living Room), Musabbeh's Room describe the earlier Omani lifestyle which still finds echoes in today's traditions. The museum displays a subtlety combined with a sense of immediacy (to transport the visitor back in time) in showing Omani life at this period in the form of the historic contents of their homes, their art, artifacts and inventions.
