THE EXPERIENCE
Discover Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization
Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization connects faith, scholarship and craftsmanship through galleries of manuscripts, scientific instruments, coins and decorative objects. Its Corniche building is part of the appeal, with a central dome that rewards looking up as well as studying the displays.
Choose a few themes to follow across the galleries, rather than rushing through every case. The science displays and arts collection offer different ways to approach the subject. The museum makes a useful cultural anchor for a waterfront day, with the Heart of Sharjah heritage area lying further south along the creek.
- Islamic arts and crafts
- Astronomy and scientific instruments
- Architecture and central dome
