I took my parents to the museum. It was interesting Islamic history and culture. The walls and interior were beautiful. It’s not suitable with little kids under 3 but great with adults.
A must-see! This museum serves as a beautiful introduction to Islam with a variety of valuable artifacts. I especially enjoyed seeing the kiswah (the cloth that covers the Kaaba).
Visited during public holiday. It was open and information staff were available. The museum has 4 halls for different historic representations or about different fields. I liked it. On second floor there is a celestial dome and nice seating area. The whole visit time took around and hour. Recommended.
Explore the natural wonders of Kalbas mangroves at the Khor Kalba Mangrove center.
Such a great activity to do in the UAE. It was free as we went during Ramadan. Even worth giving money to do this museum!
The science gallery was my favourite ❤️

From contemporary masterpieces to traditional artifacts, every corner sparks inspiration and appreciation for the arts. The museum's serene ambiance and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and curious minds alike. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this gem in the heart of Sharjah. It has free entry!
Quiet place if there is no tour group.
Can experience real natural beauty
This museum is a collection of the influence of the Middle East and later Islam on the advancement and history of the world. I found it to be extremely informative and a unique collection of artifacts and depictions of technological advances of way back.
amazing varied art and well displayed with space . not crowded . I am blown away by the beauty and variety . different styles thankYoU
It's a nice contemporary art museum, not too big, included another documentary exhibition. Entrance is free of charge.
Loved the site. It's beautiful to see how much things get changed slowly if left untouched by humans and how mangroves can quietly play a very efficient role in our habitat. It's an educational site even for kids to understand the importance of mangroves. Place is very nicely built with bridge passing on the water where you get to see beautiful fishes doing their dance if you are lucky which we were. And then the bridge takes you to bird watching site through the mangroves. While there, you can see beautiful sunset in between the mountains. We and kids enjoyed visiting the place. Fish aquariums are very beautiful and educational too. Staff is also friendly.
Very good collection of artifacts and information. Its not just about religion but also about science, astronomy, artistry, architecture, craftsmanship and valour. Well setup and managed. Excellent staff at the information desk. Must do for those interested in islamic history and culture. Ample parking. Post museum visit you can go across the road and have a snack or drink at cafeteria or go on a bot ride or just walk and take in the views.
What I like about going to museums is on how people from the past creates something with all their heart and soul in it. You can see the beauty of their art and culture in their pieces and they're making sure those are durable (so durable it can even last a lifetime).
Entrance here is just AED10 and yet you can see more than what you paid for. This is great for people who are into art, history and culture.

First time visit this Sharjah Museum. There are a few thousands of replicas displayed and the most interesting part is the dome. It is beautiful. We went with a tour guide on a weekday and no line up.
Nice art museum displaying artwork, it’s within walkable distance from art foundation. Attended a art book fair hosted there, pretty great experience meeting artists around the world.
Attractive and beautiful place for evening walks. Full of greenery, high recommended one time visits.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
It is very lucky to visit this museum with my family last weekend
The museum remodeled a traditional Arab based palace. It's another interesting thing to see its architecture and design.
When I visited, there was an exhibition of SAMIA HALABY, a famous artist from Jerusalem
I was able to enjoy such wonderful works calmly. It's free, too!
She was very impressed by her work, and she understood the Palestinian conflict
It is a good opportunity to see other Middle Eastern artists' paintings.
There were many works that I liked. This place is much better than the other fancy art museums.
Absolutely recommend!!

I recently visited the Sharjah Art Museum and while the experience was okay, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, when I visited, only one section of the museum was open and I was only able to spend about 15 minutes there. Perhaps for that reason, there was no charge to enter.
If you're not particularly interested in art, I wouldn't recommend making a special trip to visit this museum. However, if you're fascinated by different forms of art, this could be a worthwhile stop for you.

Family friendly place. Better to visit on winter times..
Very nice exhibitions during the Sharjah Biennial. The different installations are all over Sharjah but many of them in the old district around the Sharjah Art Museum. The staff really care about the collections. I walked around for about 6 hours and it was worth it
A very nice green area in the locality … it does not feel like a part of UAE… its well maintained
Great place for family and friends surrounded by nature and learning in the process. Entrance fee is AED15 excluding VAT and it takes about an hour to complete the tour. There's a picnic area as well.
Good for visit for adults.
You have to reach before 3pm to enjoy the place
