Omani French Museum
The Omani French Museum is a heritage museum located in the former residence of the French consul, Bait Faransa on Lane 9310, Qasr Al Alam Street, in Old Muscat, Oman. The white building, which was essentially a palace, was initially established as a present by the sultan Assayed / Faisal bin Turki to the French consul in Muscat in 1896. On January 29, 1992, Sultan Qaboos bin Said and the late French president François Mitterrand established a museum in the palace to preserve the historical Omani-French relations.
