A vist to Museum
last year, I and my schoolmates went to visit frankincense land museum in Dhofar with our teacher .
In the museum there are seven corridors and I will tell you about each one of them.
First of all, they received us and they showed us documentary film about the museum of east Asian art in UK and the great Oman voyage around the world, especially in china. And this was the first corridor and they call it (the stage).
After that we visited the second corridor. It's named (stories and legends).The legendary stories of (thousand night and night) are considered the popular fiction of the old trade in the Indian Ocean. It was very nice to know about it.
The next corridor is about (made in china). Inside it there is a lot of pottery with many different kinds was made from different raw material .It was well done made.
Then the fourth corridor is about (monarchy treasure). Inside this corridor there are gifts from the kings and queens in china to Omani monarchical family.
The fifth corridor was about (the great china fleet).Here we learned about the marine silk way and the sailor of it. His name is kan chan kheh,the biggest sailor in the china,and there they showed us the goods which (Chan kheh ) took from around the world .
After that we went to the corridor of (Europe domination) which talks about the relation between China and Europe in that time.
The last corridor and the best one was about (the marine travel). This corridor talks about the merchant ship (Gawharat Muscat), how they made the ship from rope and the steps of making the ship. It was very interesting corridor especially when we know about the parts of (Gawharat Muscat) ship. Finally, we learned a lot from the museum. We got out the museum very amazed. We give our sincere thanks to all of the workers in the museum. This visit will be in our memories for ever.
