Sayun museum and other Say'un, Yemen Things to Do Tips

This is a most interesting museum. Apart from the general interest of the building itself, it has several interesting exhibitions over three floors. one is devoted to temporary exhibitions, one to an exhibits on the history of the Hadramawt including many of Freya Stark's photos, and a collection of ancient artefacts that includes a number of truly remarkable carvings. Unfortunately they are not informatively labelled- (many are simply dated 1st to 12th century BC!) which reflects more on general lack of proper archaological excavations and research than any anythin else.
Unfortunately the museum doesn't have any photographs of it's exhibits or allow them to be photographed.
