Set to run until December 30, the exhibition traces the evolution of human civilization in the region across successive eras.
Through a wide range of artifacts, the exhibition charts the Stone Age and the advent of metallurgy in the third millennium BC, as well as the pre-Islamic period and the region’s influential role in the rise and spread of the Islamic world.
It also features stone and pottery tools, inscriptions, early writings, artworks, architectural elements, jewelry, and everyday objects, providing visitors with a vivid window into the region’s cultural and historical evolution.
