Lonely Planet review for Bait al-Baranda

The new museum, Bait al-Baranda in a renovated 1930s house, traces the history - and prehistory - of Muscat through imaginative, interactive displays and exhibits. A 'cut-and-paste' dinosaur, using bones found in the Al-Khoud area of Muscat and topped up with borrowed bones from international collections, is one of many striking exhibits in this excellent museum. The ethnographical displays help set not just Muscat but the whole of Oman in a regional, commercial and cultural context.
