Visit to the Museum

This is my second time visit to this Museum in Oman. It is called the Oman Across Ages Museum. This museum talks about life of this continent from million years ago. It showcases how this region has developed over millions of years. From Stone age to Ice age and being submerged completely in the ocean and from there again rising up and becoming a Desert land. This is a natural process of our planet and the entire universe. Topography keeps changing and we evolution keeps happening. So, when sometimes when we talk about global warming, I feel is it not a part of the nature, these changes and evolutions in the landscapes. What has been completely an Icy region is now a Desert and vice-versa.

Coming back to the Museum, it is one of a kind museum, built with very high level of technology use. The Museum sweeps us through time with the use of video exhibits, interactives, 2D and 3D screens, map projection technology, antique exhibits and display panels.

Let me give you a glimpse from this museum with some of the pictures that I clicked in this visit to the museum.

A video display of how different sectors have grown in Oman. What were they 4 decades back, what are they now and what is the vision for the future.

That's a art piece of a Frankincense tree, it is the national tree of Oman

This is the olden days burial system

Oman encourages art and music a big time and you will see the reflection of it in all their celebrations. The evolution of Music recorders over the time.

Shipping has also been one of the important parts of Oman. It has a port and it's a well-known for its port trade

The Dagger is a symbol of power in Oman's culture and is presented as gifts to visitors in the Country, especially the Diplomats. Just like how in India we have the culture of gifting a Shawl.

That's a Door, these types of doors were famous in the olden days. Such fine art work on the wooden panels.

Camel is not a national animal of the country, but it has lots of importance as in the past they were a important method of transportation for people and goods.

This time I was quick in going through the museum as it was my second time. I had taken a friend of mine who wanted to visit the museum.
