Dubai museum Phase One opens
01 April 2019
Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) has opened the doors of Al Shindagha Museum to visitors. Phase One of the project also includes the ‘Dubai Creek: Birth of a City’ pavilion and Perfume House.
This represents the first phase of the ambitious Dubai Historical District (DHD) project and was developed in collaboration between Dubai Culture which will manage the museum’s content and operations, Dubai Municipality (DM), and Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism).
A key highlight of the new museum is the Perfume House, which is home to a multi-sensory perfume experience that showcases traditional and industrial perfume-making techniques that highlight local excellence.
The Dubai Creek: Birth of a City’ is another key pavilion of the museum, serving as a starting point for visitors by introducing them to the history of Dubai through an immersive journey that will encompass artefacts and archival photography, said Dubai Culture. It will also chart Dubai’s development into the thriving metropolis that it is today.
