Bait Al Othman Museum

Sizeable museum on Kuwait’s history & culture from pre-oil time to present day with many artifacts.

Beit Al, Othman Museum House and diwan of the late Abdullah Al-Othman This house is located in the east of the intersection of Abdullah Al-Othman Street and Ibn Khaldun Street From the area of the Ottoman click (around me). It was built in the late 1940s with an area of Total (9454 m2), including several old houses surrounded by a high wall and pavements around the building of 157 rooms – 16 kitchens – 61 bathrooms. 80% of the house was built of cement, which is between forty and fifty cm2 thick for the walls, while the columns were built in the methods used at the time and used cement armed with iron, and the roofs were renovated, i.e. arming the roofs on the ground floor of the house oud after the fall of the grasshopper during the fatwa

In 1962 and 1985, as a result of heavy rains throughout this period, all existing walls were built at least 45 cm thick and an armed fence was built under each wall. The walls are still standing and are made up of cement bricks about 30 cm thick and about 30x 40 cm thick, covered with earthy cement, which still maintains its durability. Health and electrical works are considered non-existent and may cause them to be restarted until the property is eligible to be rented as a single dwelling for a period of eight to ten years, which has led to the cracking and distortion of the exterior and interior cladding of the building. The general character of these buildings is surrounded by a wall high in relatively different colours, as a result of the addition of buildings and houses over time and successively, and it should also be noted that the Kuwaiti character is somewhat different from the parallel side of Othman Street, as the rear fence or south of the southern façade has the character of a wall or a high wall.
