Sharjah Art Museum
Best time to visit
The best time to visit is on a weekday morning, right after opening at 9:00, because there are the fewest visitors and the light through the large windows is most beautiful for viewing the paintings.
Budget tips
Entry is completely free, just like in most museums in Sharjah. There is no need to buy tickets in advance, just check in at the entrance.

About
Quick facts: With more than 300 works of art, this is the largest art collection in the Gulf. The building spans four floors with natural light pouring through huge windows and creating incredible shadows on the marble floor.
Highlights: On the third floor, the personal collection of Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi, ruler of Sharjah, is displayed. He spent decades collecting works by Arab modernists. Among them is a painting depicting the moment the first constitution of the United Arab Emirates was signed, painted the same year the nation was born.
