National Museum

The National Museum of Maldives showcases a gamut of historical artefacts reflective of the country’s heritage. Currently housed within a three-storey building in Sultan’s Park – which is the only remaining part of the Maldivian Royal Palace – the museum will soon shift next door to a structure being built and designed by the Chinese Government, thereby allowing for the restoration and reconstruction of its current premises. Many of the items on display here once belonged to the erstwhile royal family of Maldives.
