Museum in oman

Bait Fransa:

The museum was originally built around 160 years ago as a residence for Ghaliya Bint –Salim Bin Sultan, a niece of the ruler Sultan Said Bin –Sultan. The house is delightful tall building built around a courtyard and reflecting a mixture of Arabic and Indian styles.
The ceilings, constructed of wooden beams with palm coverings, complement the arched windows with their delicate lattice plasterwork. The wooden window screens open in sections to control ventilation and sunlight
