Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A must visit for anyone interested in history, equality, and women's contributions to society. The Museum is a powerful and inspiring space dedicated to celebrating the achievements, stories, and contributions of women throughout history.
    I always thought of myself as a very sensitive person, someone who easily breaks into tears at any story. But today, I met Loida. She was in tears as she spoke about the founding of the museum and her deep admiration for Professor Rafia, with whom she's worked for several years. Thank you, and I look forward to coming back again to meet Professor Rafia.

    XVA gallery is hidden away in the old part of the Dubai. It is an art gallery with a cost cafe and restaurant. I recommend coming in just to see the artwork. Not sure how frequently it’s changed but we really enjoyed some of the art installations by local artists.
    I am surprised this place is not more popular..

    I love ! this place.If you are even a little bit into art somehow or just a curious person, you should visit Abdakulova art gallery, located in DIFC area. Amazing collection of art pieces from Central Asia, which can be purchased there.Perfect location, not overcrowded, so u can enjoy your time.Very friendly and welcoming staff, who can consult on any artwork. The gallery has a strong permanent collection of contemporary visual arts. Definitely worth your time)

    Located in the Bastakiya area, this gallery is delightful both in the art it houses and the vibe. One steps into a courtyard surrounded by art and an incredibly charming studio space. The gallery owner was friendly and happy to share information on the art on show.

    Gallery 27 is definitely by far the best gallery I have visited. Their artists that they work with are extremely talented and they all utilise a variety of techniques to present amazing art pieces with mixtures of different styles and textures. The gallery's style of pop art is exceptionally unique and makes it stand out from all the other galleries in Dubai. I highly recommend visiting here and indulging yourself in this wonderful experience! :)

    MRK Contemporary Art Gallery has easy access from Shiekh Zayed Road, opposite Burj Khalifa and Al Wasl Road City Walk. The gallery has diverse styles from affordable to extreme high end private viewing highest quality of artworks by celebrity Emirati and International Eurabian artists. Even if you are not going to buy, I strongly recommend you visit to get a feel-good factor. The Gallery makes you feel fresh and elevates your spirit.You would also learn about the culture and traditions of United Arab Emirates. I would give five stars to the Gallery.

    Many of us know nothing about good art, but a nice way to start learning is by viewing and appreciating truly great art.

    I stumbled upon Dubai's new Sovereign art gallery, and was pleasantly stunned to see some of the world's best known Indian masterpieces on show. Even plebian tastes can appreciate the pioneers of Modern Indian art - MF Husain, VS Gaitonde, SH Raza and the like.

    You will get a bonus if the curator is in residence at this gallery. He is knowledgeable, jovial, gracious, and very generous with his time if you are asking questions (I confess I had several dozen questions).

    Drop in, look around, study the works on the walls, and enjoy a wonderful conversation. You will leave knowing more about art than you have ever done. Highly recommended for singles, couples and art enthusiasts, and of course, for collectors.

    The gallery is a a bit out of the way near the camel market but well worth the trip. We visited the 'mind the gap' exhibition which features local artists. Imho true culture is difficult to find in Dubai and this is a great place to find a very welcome art space
