Located
along
the
Arabian
Gulf
Street
between
Seif
Palace
and
National
Assembly,
the
Kuwait
National
Museum
is
a
true
representation
of
the
Kuwait
Heritage.
Architecture
&
Design
Designed
by
the
French
architect
Michel
Ecochard,
visitors
can
enjoy
this
historical
museum,
which
represent
the
Kuwaiti
life
in
the
past,
their
everyday
activities,
the
rich
trading
history
of
Kuwait
and
its
traditions.
The
museum
consists
of
five
buildings
built
around
a
central
garden;
this
is
similar
to
the
architectural
plan
of
the
vernacular
Arab
mud
house
which
has
a
central
courtyard.
The
National
Museum
also
exhibits
the
wonderful
art
collection
by
the
Al-Sabah
dynasty.
Indeed,
there
are
two
types
of
museums.
The
first
displays
artifacts
found
during
an
archaeological
dig
in
Failika
Island,
terracotta
and
engraved
tools,
wooden
doors
of
the
past,
group
of
cutters
and
blades
from
Neolithic
age
and
flint
stone,
silver
statues,
16
million
old
animal
fossil,
bronze
coins
from
bronze
period
and
Hellenistic
period.
The
other
museum
exhibits
include
statues
depicting
the
old
ways
of
Kuwaitis,
old
photos
dating
back
to
1942,
a
typical
Kuwaiti
house
prior
to
invasion
of
modern
technology
and
in
general,
the
museum
displays
artifacts
of
what
Kuwait
was
like
during
the
40's
and
50's.
Though,
the
museum
was
stripped
of
several
of
these
artifacts
during
the
Gulf
war,
it
has
been
restored
and
is
open
to
public
for
display.
Therefore,
for
the
visitors
who
are
not
very
familiar
with
the
full
chronological
and
geographic
spread
of
the
Islamic
world,
a
visit
to
Kuwait
National
Museum
will
be
helpful.
