As I visit museums all the time no matter where I go, just thought of checking this one as well. They charge you 50 rufiya for entrance ticket and another 10 for the camera. This is a quite big building in the heart of the city, which is quite spacious. Someone will follow you around as you walk around the... More

We went to this Chinese-funded museum at 10 am sharp on a Sunday morning and had the entire collection to ourselves, but for the price we paid (50 rufiyaa), it's rather disappointing. The building's gigantic size for such a small country is somewhat misleading as the galleries occupy only two floors. With little left from the pre-Islamic era (you will... More

We were a little disappointed with the museum. It has an entrance fee of MRF50 (US$3.30), locals pay only MRF20 for adults and MRF10 (US$0.70) to use a camera without flash. The building is quite spacious inside with a relatively small number of articles on display compared to the available space. Most of what we saw had been sourced from... More

The national museum is a good place to visit after passing through Sultan Park and the Islamic Center.

The fee is 50MVR and an additional 10 MVR for... More

Really not too much to see and filled with items donated from other countries... The real delusion was not the size, but the lack of Maldivan items or historical evidences.

pretty large museum with little attraction but it was averagely okay for a such a small island less than 1 million people please note that entrace ticket is lke two or three tmes more than local tourist overall it was a better place

The museum has an imposing presence. Basically, it is two large rooms of objects. They are nicely arranged. All in all, not much to see.

was awesome very organising and interesting stuffs i recommend all tourist who visit male tour please visit this place

A large impressive building but it flatters to deceive. It would appear that the Maldives does not have much history. If they have to display the first telephone and first typewriter on the islands (and they do) then that should tell you everything you need to know. If they concentrated on the natural history (and there is an abundance) then... More
