I choose this place because it is special and new not a lot of people has visited it. It’s a special place because it has the name of one of the Kuwaiti sheiks name. It is one of the largest exhibition areas in the Arab world and the world. It was opened by the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al Sabah, on February 5,2018. The center is designed to be integrated in all aspects, in response to researchers and those interested in various cultural and artistic affairs and to reflect the civilized face of Kuwait. The museum is located in al-Shaab area. It bears the name of Sheikh Abdullah al-Salem Al-Sabah (Abu Istiqlal and the Constitution) in Kuwait. The project was completed within 38 months. The center houses eight main buildings, including six museums and multiple exhibitions, celebrating the scientific and cultural achievements of Kuwaiti history and the history and culture of the Arab and Islamic worlds. The six museums are divided into: Museum of Natural History, space science, Arab Islamic sciences, and science. The center has a document building, a conference hall and a 300-person theatre. In addition to a public services building, an information center. and it features twenty-five water fountains and jet fountains surrounding the exterior of the buildings.

Kuwait National Museum is considered the first museum in Kuwait. It represents Kuwait’s heritage and history. The museum is divided into galleries and exhibitions: Kuwait Heritage Museum, Planetarium, Archaeological Museum, and Boom Al Muhallab. Visitors can learn about Kuwait’s heritage and how Kuwaitis lived in the early days. Also, people can learn more about space in the Kuwait National Planetarium, a dome equipped with technologies that project stars and planets in a 3D environment. At last, after sailing its last sail in 1949, Boom Al Muhallab is now exhibited in the Kuwait National Museum to present for the new generations one of the symbol icons in Kuwait’s history. Visiting the Kuwait National Museum made me proud of being a Kuwaiti after learning more about my culture and traditions, which gave us the Kuwaiti identity.

Kuwait has a lot of unknown museums and unknown art, I discovered a beautiful place called mirror house, It was made by the artist herself, Lidia Al Qattan, It started when a petite lady who arrived in Kuwait in the 60s and decided to cover her house in mirrors after encountering problems with termites.

Every room in the house is different experience. Downstairs is full of mirrored interiors whilst the upstairs in dedicated to her late husband Khalifa, Who started the art movement in Kuwait. The tour is a unique cocktail of mirror mosaics, Psychedelic color lighting, Visionary art, Historical facts and environmental dialogue, The house of mirrors makes me feel inspired and it’s a very interesting place I think everyone should go there at least once.

I made a visit to the Upside-Down house. The reason for this visit was the curiosity to experience the first touristic upside down in Kuwait. It is a mix between the street art and entertainment. In that place visitors can experience different things.

Visitors can experience the zero-gravity illusion, their camera phone becomes a tool and they can have a tour in 8 Rooms in the house. They can try to be upside down, they have access to the coffee table and capture the most surreal photos

I had a great fun and my memories inside the upside-down house will last for a long time. Really, I felt excited and happy to make that unique visit.
