Bahrain National Museum

Bahrain

Project Briefing and Building Overview: The National Museum of Bahrain is the country's largest and most popular attraction. A must-visit for history and culture lovers, it has nine main halls dedicated to Bahrain’s 4,000 years of history. The main purpose of the museum is to enhance and promote understanding of Bahrain's history through various thematic exhibitions and numerous artistic and cultural exhibitions.

Highlights of the museum’s permanent exhibition include a replica of the bazaar on the first floor, a huge satellite image of Bahrain on the first floor, and some fascinating archaeological artifacts from ancient Dilmun. From the Islamic era and tomb halls to exhibits of ancient manuscripts and traditional artefacts, the National Museum provides a comprehensive understanding of the country's history and culture, all labeled in English and Arabic.

A trip to the Bahrain National Museum is best done as part of a day trip to the area's major attractions, which may include Al Fatah Grand Mosque, Arad Fort, Al Aleen Safari and Bahrain International Circuit. Other day trips include visits to the National Museum, Bait Al Qur'an Museum, Janabiya Royal Camel Farm, Tomb Complex and Manama Bazaar.


The museum has many traditional handicraft exhibits, so the museum display cabinet design needs to consider protecting the exhibits, displaying aesthetics, and providing the best viewing experience for the audience. Here are a few elements that should be considered when designing a display cabinet for traditional handicrafts:


1. Material selection: When selecting showcase materials, the characteristics and protection needs of the exhibits should be considered. Acid-free paper, special glass, UV-resistant materials or special woods may be suitable options. Materials should protect exhibits from moisture, dust, light and temperature changes.


2. Lighting and environmental control: Use appropriate lighting to highlight the details of the exhibits, but avoid causing damage to the exhibits. Consider using soft LED lighting or dimmed lighting, while ensuring temperature and humidity are controlled within the display cases to protect exhibits from the environment.




3. Display method and layout: The layout of the showcase should show the characteristics and historical value of the handicrafts. Use appropriate stands, plinths or displays to display items and ensure that visitors can view the exhibits from different angles and understand their craftsmanship and cultural background.


4. Security and protection: Exhibition cabinets must have safety protection measures to prevent exhibits from being stolen or damaged. Consider using security features such as safety glass, showcase locks, or a security alarm system.


5. Interactivity and education: Consider providing more interactive and educational experiences for the audience. You can use digital screens, touch screens or interpretive boards to introduce the history, cultural background and production process of the exhibits to the audience.




6. Diversified display: Try different display methods and layout designs to attract audiences of different interests and ages. Creative presentation methods may increase audience engagement and attraction.


When designing traditional handicraft display cabinets, the above factors need to be considered to ensure that the exhibits are properly displayed, protected and interpreted, while providing an enjoyable and educational viewing experience for the audience.
