MUSCAT – Organised by the museum’s Learning Centre and supported by BP Oman, the initiative offers interactive, hands-on art workshops inspired by the museum’s rich collections.

The first phase of the programme is currently underway at the National Museum, running from July 6 to 10, 2025, and catering to children aged 6 to 11. It features creative activities designed to connect younger participants with Oman’s artistic and cultural traditions in an engaging, educational environment.
Following this initial session, two additional rounds are scheduled to take place at the Learning Centre’s dedicated space in Al Mouj Muscat. These sessions will accommodate older students, with a programme for participants aged 12 to 16 from July 13 to 17, and a session for university-level participants from July 20 to 24, 2025.

The ‘Heritage and Legacy’ programme is part of the National Museum’s ongoing efforts to make cultural education more accessible and dynamic for Oman’s youth, while also fostering appreciation for the nation’s artistic legacy.

It is worth noting that the Learning Centre at the National Museum is the first of its kind in the Sultanate of Oman. It is equipped according to the highest international standards and offers various educational programmes aimed at raising public awareness about Omani heritage, including the School Visits Program, the Colleges and Universities Program, the Family Program, the Community Awareness Program, the Continuing Education Program, the People with Disabilities Program, and the Children’s Literature Reading Series Program. These programmes generate increased interest among all visitor categories in Oman’s rich history.
