Quick Summary
The National Museum of Kuwait, once a repository of a comprehensive Islamic art collection, suffered significant damage and looting during the Iraqi invasion. While a small section has been renovated and reopened, much of its collection was lost. The museum housed artifacts from Faylakah island. The loss of the National Museum increased the importance of the Tareq Rajab Museum, a private collection featuring diverse items like paintings, pottery, metalwork, jewelry, and musical instruments.12
