Heart of Sharjah in Dubai: photos, reviews

About

Nestled in the bustling city of Dubai, the Heart of Sharjah captures the essence of culture, heritage, and art, making it an unmissable attraction. This historic site boasts an impressive average rating of 4.5 on Google, reflecting its popularity among visitors.

The Sharjah Art Museum, a key highlight, offers free admission and features a pleasantly surprising array of exhibits. Visitors commend the museum's accessibility for persons with disabilities and its suitability for children. The museum's atmosphere is notably quiet, making it easy to focus on the well-displayed exhibits with ample space and thorough documentation.

The permanent exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of works by Arab artists from the region and the larger Arab world. Enthusiasts of modern art will find an intriguing collection of mostly abstract works in a neighboring building. Additionally, a small section dedicated to Orientalist art, primarily from the late 19th century, adds an extra layer of historical exploration.

Highlights include an excellent summary of works by Palestinian artist Samia Halaby, and pieces by 19th-century Scottish illustrator David Roberts. The second floor showcases modern and contemporary Arab art, further enriching the visitor experience. Meeting staff member Maythaa is often highlighted as a wonderful part of the visit, due to her caring and helpful nature.

Beyond the museum, Heart of Sharjah offers archaeological exhibits, coffee shops, a small play area for kids, and lovely walks along the corniche. The blend of cultural and heritage activities, outdoor spaces, and exceptional art collections makes the Heart of Sharjah a vibrant hub for both locals and tourists.
