Stepping out of a shaded street into the quiet galleries of Kuwait City, the day rearranges itself around objects that carry centuries. The tour begins with the Tareq Rajab Museum’s dense rooms of metalwork, embroidered costumes and Arabic calligraphy where script leans and curves like a living language. An hour later a private car moves you through Hawalli to Bait Al-Othman, a newer museum tracing Kuwaiti life from pre-oil pearl-diving settlements to the urban present.
