    The museum of people and places is a perfect destination for anyone who wants to develop an inside view into Oman life back in the 70's. It is a labor of love and sheds an interesting dimension to Oman culture and heritage through story telling, scents and crafts, views and flavors. Highly recommended.

    A little gem
    Lovely little museum just under the fort. A short walk along the Corniche to the museum where we were warmly welcomed and had the museum to ourselves. A traditional Omani home with items up to 1960s/70s interspersed with some paintings which are a joy.
