Lately, I've been reading about the different art museums and the art world in the Sultanate. Ghalya's Museum Of Modern Art in Muttrah area of Oman, caught my eye because it is a museum who's main purpose is to accomplish two things: "What has surrounded the Omani people, and what has lived within them". In my attempt to try and understand a as much as I can about Omani culture, history, and people, this museum would be an interesting place to check out as one experience that may help me to grasp the immense changes and development this place has experienced and grown from. I plan on visiting this museum after we get back from Qatar and after the holidays. I want to understand what the people of Oman lived in when they lived here before 1970. The museum consists of typical Omani homes with the interiors containing preserved Omani cultural artifacts and typical things that go in each room of a household from the years between 1950-1970.
