Museum of Pearl Diving

The compelling past of this island nation is represented at the Museum of Pearl Diving, constructed in 1937 and one of Bahrain's most impressive and significant buildings. The museum was the first official centre for the Bahrain Courts, with four Supreme Courts. In 1984, the building was declared a Traditional Heritage Centre. Various aspects of life in the pre-oil period, such as pearls diving gear, national costumes, local musical instruments and archive photographs, are currently exhibited at the museum.

Address: At the Bahrain National Museum, near the King Faisal Highway
