Omani Exhibition in Russia Attracts More Than 400,000
Visitors
Muscat, 4 Mar (ONA) — As many as 414,481 visitors
turned up at an exhibition titled “Omani Empire between Asia and Africa”, held
at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, from December 2023 to January 2025.
The exhibition, the second of its kind to be organized
as part of Oman Hall Initiative, was applauded by visitors from
different countries of the world. The visitors expressed their great
appreciation for the unique collections which, they said, reflected the deep-rooted
history of the Sultanate of Oman.
The exhibition included a
selection of artefacts that represented Al Yaruba Dynasty and Al Busaidi Dynasty,
which established two maritime empires in the 17th century and whose
glory peaked in the 17th Century. The artefacts indicate important
aspects of Oman’s historical identity as a role model for a prosperous, global,
multicultural and tolerant nation.
