The art center looks nice and might be worth a visit. For some unexplainable reason children under 12 are not allowed inside. The guard offered that we can leave the kids unattended at the entrance. But that didnt cut it for us.

It is an interesting and interactive place. I like that modern art is used to display the historic games along with the visit to an actual archaeological site.The quality of art displayed in the art classrooms, whereas lessons are given, are of high standard showing the skill of a very good art teacher.It is really good to see the arts held with such importance.

This was such an awesome field trip for our little kindergartners! This gave them an insight into what life was like forty or fifty years ago. There was no admission fee, and the children saw basket weaving, thatched roofs being made, pottery being made, and little houses being built. We all had a very good time, the children had the opportunity to buy wares, and they were allowed to eat in a majilis area. The entire project, as well as the culture center, were truly magnificent!

This centre offers exhibits and also provides art classes. (ex. calligraphy). There is also a souk on Friday and Saturday evenings in the cooler months where one can purchase traditional items. Visited from a Big Bus tour from Abu Dhabi so we did not have a lot of time. Even so we had time to chat with one of the tutors, see the work of students part and present Son dien Son mat. Enjoy the rotation of exhibits highlighting local artists and their works. In cooler months, loved the outdoor movie experience

Visited from a Big Bus tour from Abu Dhabi so we did not have a lot of time. Even so we had time to chat with one of the tutors, see the work of students part and present. Met a charming lady who may have been the curator. She showed me around more of the Centre, in particular the studio of the eminent calligrapher Mohammed Mendes. It was his day to teach but he had another engagement unfortunately. It is regrettable that the Centra does not have a shop selling samples of the work done there. Local work is always appreciated by visitors.

An old castle has been modified and the establishment of an art center within it includes multi-use halls and other belonging to different artistic crafts of drawing and other. Alongside the castle are heritage councils and shops, the region usually hosts heritage and folklore events from the Emirati heritage (singing Shallat, Yule, competitions, ..).

As a sweet and comfortable place, and the teachers in general are excellent, but what they lack is that they increase the types of workshops ... and on the day they visit morning activities during the days of the week, who will visit them and everyone will attend ?? !!
