Make time for this under rated museum, worth a visit. It is lost in the flashy commercialized mall shopping world of Kuwait. Its on Gulf Road, not too far from the downtown business district.

In an otherwise cultural wasteland, you think wealthy Kuwait will at least invest in a decent museum. The place is sad and is in serious need for repair...watch where you step if you visit. I believe this place was damaged during the Iraqi invasion, but 20 years seems to be plenty of time to repair things. After all, malls have... More

what a huge mistake. This is THE WORST example of a national museum I've ever seen. It's a dusty building site with two rooms of VERY dull exhibits. All the ancient and modern culture, history that could have been displayed in this shambles just left me gasping at how awful this place is. Kuwait is wealthy country; economically, culturally and...

Parking: ample parking but totally disorganised Attraction: the whole exterior was dusty with the impression that it was undergoing renovation. There were 3 halls (archeology, history & planetarium) but not many things exhibited. My recommendation is to wait until everything is finalised. Total no of pax while we were there? : 10!
