A must visit if you are into old cultures and history of Islam. There are thousands of items on display and I cant thank Mr. Tareq and his wife enough for their contributions all these years. There are 2 museums, one is a museum for Islamic Art, and another is a standard one where metalwork, weapons, and miniature items are placed. The entry fee is 2 kd and a single ticket is applicable on both the museums, so not bad at all. However, as of today the first museum is closed due to renovations and is slated to open in H1 2023. The location here is of the second museum, the first museum is just beside Sultan Center a few blocks away. The museum of Islamic Art is open. Do visit, it is really good!

Its beautiful and very interesting. However, to make the most of the visit I recommend to go in a guided tour.

Wonderful collection. Beautiful calligraphic paintings, graceful vases and carpets, etc. Worth to spend couple of hours.Easy to find using Google maps. Big parking lot next to the museum. But be aware - on Friday only half day working time.

One of my favorite places in Kuwait. A treasure trove of calligraphy, civilization and culture all nestled in Jabrita.

Awesome place. If you are interested in history this place is a must visit for you. Its behind the English school on street 5. The google map took me to a slightly different place but with the help of some locals I was able to find the place. The building is having the clear name "Tareq Rajab museum" written on it. This place is having hundreds and hundreds of artifacts really hats off for the great effort. This museum is among the normal houses so see closely when you are finding the place. I hope it will help the people who will go in the future. Take your time to absorb the rich history of past. I loved this place. The ticket is 2 KD per person.

[Impressive collection for Islamic Calligraphy]A private collection underneath a residential home, but the way of representation is impressive. Entry fee is 2 KD and its not a big one (2 stairs), no wheelchair access. It focuses on Islamic calligraphy and exhibits. Within 1-2 hours it can be covered and its accessible without advanced planning or reservations.

The museum was very well organised. Despite the fact that its really hard to find the museum, my friends and I enjoyed doing the college project about it.
