    Misleading Name

    My definition of Art Gallery certainly differs from this attraction. For sure there are number of very nice displays, but, less than two minutes in the building we were escorted into a room where one person spruiked the merits of the various carpets while another...More

    Art for Sale

    Do not be misled by the name "Art Centre". Apart from a handful of "Not for Sale" items, practically everything, mostly mass produced souvenir stuff, can be purchased, and if you are visiting as a group, you will be subject to a courteous but mandatory...More

    A Rug Shop in Disguise

    An extremely disappointing visit I assumed, quite incorrectly, that we were going to see some art, but the group we were with were ushered into a room where the sales patter began. I have seen this guise many times in various countries, and this was...More

    An interesting place to visit and learn about the islamic art. Many high end pieces on display. Also available to buy.

    A nice marketing strategy calling it a museum, but the strategy is paper thin

    The Miraj Islamic Art Centre bills itself as a museum which the thought will quickly be dispelled upon entering. A salesmen will latch on you like a flea to a camel and will not leave your side. Early on he'll sell the "museum" piece by...More

    Not a museum, it's a shop

    I spend a lot of time in Abu Dhabi, but this is not one of the attractions that I would recommend. The literature talks about a museum and cultural experience, but it is not. It is a large collection of tourist items with a few...More

    Touted as a Museum, but seemed more like a museum shop

    The location we visited, accessible from the lobby of the Hilton Capital Grand, Abu Dhabi, is one of 4 in the UAE, 2 in Abu Dhabi and 2 in Dubai. We heard about it, and "saved it up" for some afternoon when we returned to...More
