The 10 Best Museums in Al Quoz, Emirate of Dubai

When people think of Dubai, they think of shimmering beaches, luxurious hotels and shopping sprees; and the last thing that comes to mind are museums. However, there is a whole other cultural side to Dubai that exists, and this is where the Salsali Private Museum comes in.The Salsali Private Museum (SPM) is the first Private Museum of Contemporary Art in Dubai, and in the region. Located in the Alserkal Avenue, and in the heart of the local Art district of industrial Al Quoz, the museum was opened in 2011 by its founder, Ramin Salsali. The museum is the realization of his dream to open a place to share his extensive private collection with the public in Dubai. The collection consists of over 400 artworks including paintings, installations and video art, to name a few.The addition of SPM to the list of cultural attractions in Dubai on the Trip Advisor website would help more people aware of the more serious, cultural dimension Dubai has to offer. Therefore, we are very interested in adding the Salsali Private Museum to your list of sights online and in your next edition of the Dubai book, as Trip Advisor is now one of the world's best and most renowned travellers' guides.
