Omani French Museum

Nostalgia about an era gone by, the 19th century in particular, is evoked in this rather interesting museum. Tourists are able to learn a great deal from the exhibits and galleries showcasing Oman’s unique relationship with France, a former colonial power. The pictures of early French diplomats are also on display along with an interesting collection of postage stamps. This museum was opened in 1992 in a house almost 200 years old which once served as the French Consul.
Timings: Saturday-Thursday 9am - 1pm & 4- 6pm (Oct- March)
