Tareq Rajab Museum
Tareq Rajab was Kuwait’s first Minister of Agriculture and he opened his extensive collection of Islamic art and crafts to the general public in 1980. The collection includes a large collection of ethnic and Islamic jewellery, costumes, ceramics and metalworks. Tapestries and manuscripts round off this very interesting collection along with some unique musical instruments. All articles on display are of Arab or Muslim origin and are clearly marked in English. Entrance is free.
The collection is housed in a private villa located in Jabriya (Block 12, Street 5, House no 16), near the 5th Interchange of the Fahaheel Expressway and the New English School. The museum’s name is above the elaborate gilt-metal doorway and all the artefacts are displayed within glass cabinets within the house’s basement.
