Kuwait House for National Works Museum

Kuwait House of National Works Museum houses and encapsulates the grim reminders of the first Gulf war in 1990-91. Located in Shuwaikh, the museum also pays tribute to the sacrifice of Kuwaiti soldiers and citizens as well as soldiers from other countries that fought against Iraqi forces. The museum consists of couple of well-crafted models of the city that are stamped in time with an AV session in both Arabic and English. Despite the nationalist fervor, the experience of walking through the murky walkways, illuminated by replicated mortar attacks and gun blasts, and focusing on the valor of Kuwaiti soldiers for the safety of citizens, has a present-day resonance that transcends the exhibit’s proposition.
