Paris: The Oman Across Ages Museum has won the Versailles World Architecture, Design Award for the best exterior design for the most fascinating museums in the world. This was unveiled by UNESCO in Paris today.
According to Oman News Agency, the museum was in the lead of seven newly opened or reopened museums that serve the theme of innovation, reflect local heritage and environmental efficiency, and leave a positive impact on their surroundings. Oman Across the Ages Museum is thereby termed as ‘the most beautiful museum in the world for the year 2024’, thanks to the monument’s unique exterior design.
It is worth noting that the design of Oman Across the Ages Museum was inspired by the Al Hajar Mountain range. It therefore stands in full harmony with its natural surroundings. The copper facades of the museum symbolize Oman’s ancient history of metal extraction and related industries.
The distinctive shape of the museum harmonizes with the surrounding geographical elements, thus manifesting a balance betwee
n modern design and traditional character. This edifice remains a witness to the antiquity of Omani culture and its continuous innovation.
