Zayed Museum chronicles camel history
The Zayed National Museum documents the history of camels over 7,000 years through an exhibition titled "An Impact That Extends Through Time... Camels in Society, Trade, and Arts," which will open this December to mark the first anniversary of the museum's opening. The exhibition includes archaeological evidence such as remains of wild camels from sites in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, dating from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. These artifacts are loaned from institutions like the Natural History Museum and Dubai Culture and are displayed for the first time. The exhibition focuses on the role of camels in human life and their influence on the development of transportation, trade, and culture throughout history. It features visual narratives and rare materials such as old books, petroglyphs, and postal parcels, in addition to audiovisual elements that highlight oral traditions associated with camels, like the art of Al-Hadā and Al-Taghrooda. The aim is to shed light on the deep relationship between humans and camels in the Emirates and the region, reflecting the camel’s cultural significance and its historical role in the development of society. The exhibition includes a comprehensive program of activities, workshops, and tours designed to allow visitors to explore the related heritage of camels.
