This is a wonderful museum with some of the most beautiful examples of Arabic Calligraphy I've ever seen. The design and layout is simple and easy to navigate. The museum's caretakers have provided small blurbs of English text, making viewing the area easier for foreigners. I highly recommend bringing along an Arabic expert of some kind to better appreciate the historical and spiritual wealth found within these halls. This museum is all the more impressive since a large portion of the collection was heroically preserved and rescued during the Iraqi invasion at the outset of the Gulf War. It's also worth thanking the museum staff, who were very accommodating, allowing me to enter a few minutes early so I wouldn't miss my flight later in the day. Extrodinary and...

A must visit if you are into old cultures and history of Islam. There are thousands of items on display and I can't thank Mr. Tareq and his wife enough for their contributions all these years.

The entry fee is 2 kd and a single ticket is applicable on both the museums, so not bad at all. However, as of today the first museum is closed due to renovations and is slated to open in H1 2023. The location here is of the second museum, the first museum is just beside Sultan Center a few blocks away. The museum of Islamic Art is open. Do visit, it is...

Awesome place. If you are interested in history this place is a must visit for you. Its behind the English school on street 5. The google map took me to a slightly different place but with the help of some locals I was able to find the place. The building is having the clear name "Tareq Rajab museum" written on it. This place is having hundreds and hundreds of artifacts really hats off for the great effort. This museum is among the normal houses so see closely when you are finding the place. I hope it will help the people who will go in the future. Take your time to absorb the rich history of past. I loved this place. The ticket is 2...

I recommend this museum to tourists visiting Kuwait. I got a ticket and first visited the nearby Tareq Rajab Museum and then was given free admission to this Museum of Islamic Calligraphy. There are many very beautiful pieces in this museum. My critique is that there are very few signs explaining the pieces, their origins, materials, meanings, etc. It would be nice to have context about how it's been curated.
