Museums in Dubai are situated in a prime location in the city's downtown area, where skyscrapers and traditional architecture blend beautifully. If you are looking for information about the history of Dubai, emerging from centuries as a small trading post to the luxurious city of today, or the pearling industry that brought immense wealth to the trading families of the emirate, the city has a variety of museums to suit your needs. Al Shindagha Museum is a prestigious world-class heritage museum in the Dubai Historic District that promotes the city’s historical, artistic, and cultural heritage using the most innovative technologies. Al Shindagha is the area where the Al Maktoum ruling family of Dubai originally lived. The museum project combines innovative experiential, participatory, and interactive technologies through multisensory and immersive video installations and projection mapping, together with traditional objects and informative graphics.
