 Museum of Antiquities and Folklore
 ( Published On Tuesday 23 March 2010, 8 Rabi II 1431, Time: 13:42)

ArRiyadh City Web Site - Museum of Antiquities and Folklore

 

This museum lies on Abdulaziz bin Mohammed bin Abdul Aziz Street.  It comprises two sections, the first section contains a group of antiquities displayed in a way to reflect historical stories and the other is concerned with the folklore.  There, we find collections of rare male and female dresses, some old weapons such as rifles, swords, daggers in addition to utensils made of clay and ceramic, which were in use in the past as well as rare mail stamps.

 

The tent captures the attention of visitors by its traditional style that takes us back to the simple life of our ancestors.  There is also a model representing old Musmak Palace from which the Kingdom has started its march.  There are also Quranic verses and Islamic engravings that capture the attention.
