MUSCAT: The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism (MoHT) has floated a tender for providing design and supervision consultancy services for the establishment of the Maritime History Museum in Sur.
The museum will be developed as a cultural and educational national institute that will house, preserve, and showcase the seafaring Omani heritage.
The project includes a main walkway 'Boulevard' containing cafes, restaurants, and a park, as well as another walkway overlooking the sea, linking the sea street walkway to Khor Al Battah Bridge and the Ship Factory.
The project also includes a public square that contains an open theatre overlooking the coast, in addition to office spaces.
All these components are directly related to the urban structure of the region, as all spaces and services can be used separately from the museum.
The Museum will be located on Sur Beach on a site area of 14,154 square metres and the building will be accessed by cars, coaches, and pedestrians from the nearby neighbourhoods.
