It was closed so we only saw it from the outside but it’s well worth the visit. Covered in bullet holes and tank shell damage. A sad reminder of war

Good historical information but needs more clarification. Maybe a small movie theater or other videos could be put together to tie in all the relevant events. A time line before during and after the invasion would be nice also.

The place is where the kuwaiti resistants were placed to work for protecting kuwait on 1990-1991 from iraqi forces and the place where they got murdered. So the house shows where each person died inside and there is a room with their pictures names and role in the resistance with some of iraqi weapons used on them. الله يسكنهم في اعلى مراتب جناته ❤️

My house is right across the street from the museum. I see it every single day from my window. I have been to this place countless times since I was a child and I still do. Very proud of my fellow Kuwaiti citizens and soldiers who gave their lives to defend our people and our beloved country.

This is one of few and significant places in Kuwait that stands forever as a testimony to what people actually went through during the first gulf war. Well kept and organized with proper working hours. I just can’t imagine what people who live close by it feel like every time they walk out of their homes!

Very emotional especially for those who lived during that period and very useful for young generations to learn part of what happened during the invasion. This museum is the actual place where a battle took place on February 24, 1991 and martyrs died. The visitor may also see their weapons, photos, and even personal belongings. Outside there are the vehicles they were using during the occupation including the waters tanker vehicle.

A vivid illustration of the effects of the invasion and liberation. Its a bit out of the way, and it would be nice if there was more information in English about the battle. Theres a free English booklet that basically reiterates what was in the signs Worth a visit, but it likely wont be a long one. Hours changed for Ramadan - it was open only after 8:30

A place that I’ve been too many times as a kid and continue to go to as an adult (especially on national or liberation day). It’s a sad reminder of the Iraqi invasion in 1990-91.Many Kuwaiti citizens with no training formed resistance groups during the first gulf war. One such group was Almassilah group that used Alqurain “house” as a base. Iraqi troops discovered the group by chance when they were looking for houses to steal. Iraqi soldiers asked for back up and attacked the group in that house. Three Kuwaitis were killed straight away (places of their deaths are marked in the museum). Several, around 7, were captured, tortured and then eventually killed and several others managed to hide (the place they used to hide is also marked in the museum).Considerable effort was put to maintain this place and I think it was recently extended to put photos of other martyrs and prisoners of war (who were killed also). Also, there are many letters displayed (in Arabicin the new extension. These letters were exchanged between Iraqi officials at the time of invasion. Some weapons are also displayed in that area.Entry is free of charge. There are guides if needed.I noticed ramps for wheelchair users but upper floors can only be accessed through the stairs.Personally, I think every resident in Kuwait should visit this place.If you like this review please give it a Like 👍🏼

The place have the remnants of the Iraqi war. A good reminder of the Kuwait Iraqi war fought and the Martyr who died in the War. There is a display of an Iraqi Tank, vehicles the Martyr used, the vehicle used to transport the resistance army, the van with bullet holes used to transport the kidnapped.The building holds and displays bullet marks. You can visit by entering the site and tour around the building. The Kuwaiti Flag is hoisted at the actual place where it was declared independance.A must visit place on the 25 & 26 Feb. My family and I truly enjoyed it. A historic place to visit

This house in the Qurain region in Kuwait was one of the centers of the Kuwaiti resistance during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and a battle took place on February 24, 1991, where 12 members of the resistance were martyred . The National Council for Culture& Arts transformed the house into a museum to commemorate the martyrs and this epic. Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah ordered the conversion of the house in which the battle took place to a historical museum.The battle of Beit al-Qurain is a national epic battle that highlights the role of the Kuwaiti resistance during the Iraqi invasion, as it united all segments of Kuwaiti society.During his visit to the museum on April 14, 1994, Coalition Forces Commander Norman Schwarzkopf said: “When I’m in this house it makes me wish that we had come four days earlier, then perhaps this tragedy would not have happened.”

This is a place anyone who is interested in the 1990/91 Kuwaiti Resistance should visit. Youll need about 90 minutes. Plenty of parking, most of the exhibits have some English, and there is an English language booklet that helps explain what happened.

Thought provoking house where the Kuwaiti Resistance was based during the first Gulf War. An Iraqi tank is located outside: apparently the one that damaged the house and killed many Kuwaitis inside. A small museum downstairs documents the invasion.
