Theme: Damascus: the Oldest Capital Still Inhabited

Distinctive architecture and culture of Syria is well interpreted by traditional elements - folk residences in Damascus dwelled by three generations. Three components of the exhibition, Cultural Stories of the Wheat/Silk Road, Arabic Library, and From Ancient Hamoukar to Modern Damascus, are respectively arranged in three halls linked with each other.
In the courtyard there is a well in the center,valuable antiques around, and aromatic bonsais in the corners.
Architectures and stories bring visitors to the 4500-year history of Damascus, the capital of Syria and a city of the heaven.
