Manama Museums: Bahrain National Museum

The Bahrain National Museum covers 6000 years of Bahrain's history. Located on the intersection of the Muharraq Causeway and King Faisal Highway. The purpose of the National Museum is to preserve, increase, and disseminate knowledge of the artistic, natural and cultural history of Bahrain. It was officially opened by the Amir Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa in December 1988. There are also photographs and models of pearling exhibitions and artifacts to represent the former source of Bahrain wealth before the advent of oil. Is the largest and one of the most oldest museums in Bahrain. the Bahrain National Museum is fascinating place where visitors will get to see collections of artefacts from the Stone Age, Dilmun, Tylos and Islamic Periods.

I remember when I was there that I lost my self many times on the amazing paintings that I never see before. Bahrain National Museum comprises of conservation laboratories, workshops and administrative offices. The entry fee was very low about 200 fils so less than a dollar. I went there for free by the way.
