Known forhidden gemthoughtfulcollector's museumquiet
A private collection housed in a 19th-century courtyard house, presenting human history as one interconnected story rather than rival civilisations. Highlights include a 7,500-year-old bull-shaped vase, a 16th-century Kaaba curtain, Alexander-the-Great-era pieces and a 1590 book that mentions 'Dubai'. Entry is a bargain and it's rarely crowded, but the labelling can be dense, so allow 60-90 minutes and don't rush it.
