My Visit to the Kuwait National Museum

My designation for Friday afternoon was the Kuwait National Museum.  This museum was a short walk from my hotel and according to the hotel in-room guide and website – it opened at 4:30pm on Fridays.

Off I went to walk along Arabian Gulf street to take me to my destination!

After a 10 minute or so walk I knew I was close!

I followed the arrow and turned right……

And discovered the building and surrounding area under heavy construction and completely closed.

This unexpected outcome is all part of the unexpected in traveling… so now what to do?  I decide to start walking back to the hotel to take a look around the area!
