National Museum of Yemen
The National Museum of Yemen in Sanaa, Yemen, is an archaeological and cultural museum.
The National Museum of Yemen (Arabic: المتحف الوطني اليمني) in Sanaa, Yemen, is an archaeological and cultural museum. It is located in Dar al-Shukr (Palace of Gratefulness) which was one of the Yemeni Imam Palaces.
The museum was founded in 1970 following a decision made a year before and opened to the public in 1971. The collections stem partly from an earlier museum established by the Imam of Yemen.
The Museum recently moved to a nearby building called Dar Al-Sada (Palace of Happiness). It is located near Qubbat al-Mutawakkil Mosque dome in Tahrir Square in the city center. The relocation was made to the newly renovated Palace because it offers the necessary space to accommodate the increasing number of artifacts throughout the history of Yemen.
