It is divided into two sections: archaeology and ethnography.
In the archaeological section, artefacts dating from the Stone Age to the Islamic period are on display.
Visitors can see an extensive collection of tools including blades, borers, burins, arrowheads and scrapers, stone lids, shells and pottery, which reveal how society developed through the ages.
Meanwhile, the ethnography section provides a more intimate experience through a careful display of items that bring historic local culture to life.
A collection of female jewellery (pendants, hairpins, necklaces and bangles) from the Stone Age features here, and the agricultural techniques and tools used through the ages are showcased.
In addition, an entire section is dedicated to falconry, an art that has been handed down through generations and which still finds a prominent place in contemporary Abu Dhabi culture.
