The Sharjah Archaeology Museum is the first museum in Sharjah, the capital of the Emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. It was established on October 5, 1997. It is considered the first museum in the UAE that specializes in archaeology on a national level. The museum showcases artifacts that were found in Sharjah and that belong to pre-Islamic eras.
The museum's architectural style aligns with the most modern museum display methods. The museum is home to over one-thousand archaeological pieces, dating from pre-Islamic times, particularly from the Paleolithic Age over 120 thousand years ago until the seventh-century A.D. These pieces include utensils, pottery, tools, stone and metallic artifacts, as well as ornaments, jewelry, coins, small animal and human statues, in addition to models of skeletons, burials, and houses that were discovered in various places in Sharjah.
