Why go
This record is the Sharjah Art Museum in the Arts Area at Al Shuwaihean, not the Sharjah Art Foundation and not the Barjeel Art Foundation, whose collection it showed in an exhibition from May 2018 to June 2025. The Sharjah Museums Authority says the museum opened on 17 April 1997, holds a permanent collection of modern and contemporary Arab art and an art library, and hosts temporary exhibitions. Both the museum's own site and the authority's page say it is temporarily closed until further notice (read 2026-10-11), so check the museum's site before planning a visit.
