Important Guidelines

Know Before You Go

Sharjah is a dry emirate and generally more conservative than Dubai — modest dress is expected throughout.
Allow around 2 hours to see all seven galleries at a comfortable pace.
The museum sits directly on the Corniche, making it easy to combine with a lagoon-side walk afterward.
Photography is generally permitted; follow on-site signage in specific galleries.
