Review & FAQ:

The National Museum is located on the island of Malé. It sits inside the Sultan Park, and was previously a part of the Sultan’s Palace. The museum was opened for public display in November, 1952. Visitors will find a large collection of historical artifacts that belonged to the Sultans, some of which include paper and cloth manuscripts, dress worn by kings and queens, photographs, armor, arms, and anthropological objects from the pre-Islamic era. The lower level of the museum is dedicated to medieval periods, and the upper level displays objects representing the modern era, including the famous Maldivian lacquer boxes.
