Dubai Municipality Museum

For example, the museum houses copies of rare manuscripts such as royal decrees issued by past rulers. Or, you can find administrative decrees that shaped the way that the municipality would operate from then on. Another interesting resource is the rare photographs collection. Photos include some of the first municipal council meetings as well as shots of municipal projects as they were being completed. You can get a great idea of what the city looked like before some of the more modern developments by perusing some of this information.
