The 10 Best Art Museums in United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates
Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

5.0 based on 2 reviews
When people think of Dubai, they think of shimmering beaches, luxurious hotels and shopping sprees; and the last thing that comes to mind are museums. However, there is a whole other cultural side to Dubai that exists, and this is where the Salsali Private Museum comes in.The Salsali Private Museum (SPM) is the first Private Museum of Contemporary Art in Dubai, and in the region. Located in the Alserkal Avenue, and in the heart of the local Art district of industrial Al Quoz, the museum was opened in 2011 by its founder, Ramin Salsali. The museum is the realization of his dream to open a place to share his extensive private collection with the public in Dubai. The collection consists of over 400 artworks including paintings, installations and video art, to name a few.The addition of SPM to the list of cultural attractions in Dubai on the Trip Advisor website would help more people aware of the more serious, cultural dimension Dubai has to offer. Therefore, we are very interested in adding the Salsali Private Museum to your list of sights online and in your next edition of the Dubai book, as Trip Advisor is now one of the world's best and most renowned travellers' guides.

The museum has several exhibitions. Most interesting one is the museum collection with works from many arab countries since second half of the 20th century which is mainly a testimony of the evolution of visual art in the region and also shows how the western styles influenced the regional artists. A small corner of the museum contains "The light of the Orient" which is a collection of Orientalist art of the 19th century owned by HH the Ruler of Sharjah and mainly shows an European view on regional subjects. The exhibitions are very well documented so take your time.
