Attendees will find a selection of extraordinary artifacts, such as a 16th-century Ming dynasty incense canister engraved with al-Shahada and Celadon pottery fragments sourced from Bidya, showcasing centuries of cultural exchange. Architectural models, like a replica of the historic Bidya Mosque and the upcoming Zayed National Museum, offer a glimpse into the nation’s architectural heritage and innovative designs. A captivating ghaf tree installation invites guests to learn about Sheikh Zayed’s formative years in Al Ain, while an interactive display featuring a Late Mamluk Qur’an from the 16th century highlights intricate Qur’anic texts and annotations.

This edition in Fujairah follows previous displays at the Etihad Museum in Dubai and Ajman Museum, broadening access to the UAE’s significant cultural artifacts. The travelling exhibition enables both residents and visitors to engage with the stories and treasures that will become integral to the nation’s key museum, promoting a deeper appreciation of the UAE's historical values.
