  3. Museums • The Dubai Culture and Authority has played a significant role in the development and promotion of museums in the city. With a vision to preserve and showcase the rich cultural heritage of Dubai, the authority has established several world-class museums that offer unique and immersive experiences to visitors. • One of the notable museums under the Dubai Culture and Authority is the Dubai Museum located in the Al Fahidi Fort, which is one of the oldest buildings in the city. The museum provides a captivating journey into Dubai's past, showcasing artifacts and exhibits that depict the traditional Bedouin way of life, pearl diving, and the city's transformation into a modern metropolis. Visitors can explore the various galleries, including historical dioramas, traditional Emirati dwellings, and interactive displays that offer insights into the region's history, culture, and traditions. • Additionally, the Dubai Culture and Authority has played a vital role in the establishment of the Etihad Museum, which commemorates the founding of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its subsequent development. The museum offers a blend of interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations, and archival materials that narrate the story of the UAE's formation, highlighting the values of unity, tolerance, and progress. Through engaging displays, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the UAE's political history, its leaders, and the achievements that have shaped the nation. • Overall, the Dubai Culture and Authority's commitment to museums has not only preserved the city's cultural heritage but has also provided platforms for locals and tourists to connect with Dubai's history, art, and identity. These museums serve as valuable educational and cultural resources, contributing to the enrichment and appreciation of the city's diverse heritage.
