Bait Al-Othman Museum opened earlier this year but I only got to pass by and check it out yesterday and to my surprise, it turned out to a lot bigger than I was expecting it to be. The museum covers various aspects of Kuwait’s history and showcases them in different rooms that are spread out across the museum. I loved walking around the place because I didn’t know what I would see next, they had a room about Kuwait Airways, a room with old currencies, an old barber shop, a drama room and a lot more other ones all covering historically important aspects related to Kuwait.
Entry fee was just KD1 and there’s a ton of parking outside where you could also see some old vehicles and even a plane. The museum is located in Hawalli behind Al Othman Complex on Bin Khaldoun Street. Visiting hours are 9:30AM to 12:30PM and 4:30PM to 9:00PM. They are open daily except for Friday mornings. Here is the location on [Google Maps]
The photos above are just some of the stuff you will see there since I didn’t want to ruin the experience for you by posting everything.

They have tour guides who speak English (on prior request of course) – AWARE Center’s doing one on October 28 (https://aware.com.kw/EventsDetails.aspx?ID=413)
Is everything there in Arabic? Looks like somewhere that would be nice to take my folks when they visit from the UK in November, but would like to be able to read some of the signs.
Most of the signs are in English, and there’s an English tour guide upon request.
One of the best museums in Kuwait. Btw, this is phase one. There is a plan to expand the museum.
