Muscat: The Ministry urged private heritage homes and museums to obtain requisite license to operate in order to avoid legal measures in accordance with the Cultural Heritage Law.

“The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism notes that some citizens practice the activity of establishing private museums and heritage houses without obtaining the necessary licenses, which is a violation of Article 16 of the Cultural Heritage Law issued by Royal Decree No. 35/2019,” warned the Ministry.
