This slickly designed museum tells the story of Saruq Al Hadid, a Bronze- and Iron-Age site deep in the desert where an ancient metalworking community left behind gold jewellery, weapons and pottery. Go for the beautifully lit galleries and interactive displays that reconstruct how the artefacts were made and unearthed, including the golden ring that inspired the Expo 2020 logo. It's tucked into the old Shindagha district and easy to miss, so pair it with a creek walk, and note it's closed Saturdays.
