H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, along with H.H. Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, inaugurated the exhibition "A Glimpse of the Zayed National Museum: Preserving Our Rich History" at the Ajman Museum. Organised by DCT Abu Dhabi and the Zayed National Museum, in collaboration with ADTD, the exhibition runs from 28 November to 29 May 2025.
The event was graced by Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of ADTD, and Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Department of Municipality and Planning. The exhibition honours the values instilled by the late founding father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and their ongoing influence on UAE's development and heritage preservation.
During a tour led by Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of DCT Abu Dhabi, visitors can explore artifacts, films, and archival images that document Sheikh Zayed's life in Al Ain. The exhibition highlights his strong connection with people and significant milestones in his life.
Al Mubarak explained how the exhibition celebrates the shared vision of preserving heritage between Sheikh Zayed and H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi. This vision is reflected in the establishment of the Ajman Museum in 1991.
H.H. stated, "The exhibition documents the legacy of a leader who dedicated himself to building a great nation and achieved one success after another for his people. With his wise vision, our country has continued on the path of growth, progress, and prosperity, becoming a source of pride among nations."
He further added that Sheikh Zayed's memory will remain immortal as future generations learn from his wisdom. The exhibition serves as a reminder of important aspects of his history and introduces young people to key moments in nation-building.
H.H. Sheikh Ammar Al Nuaimi remarked that the exhibition sheds light on Sheikh Zayed's legacy through its valuable collections. It helps new generations understand his efforts in nation-building while instilling values of loyalty and belonging to their homeland.
"Through this exhibition," he said, "we come closer to Zayed the father, leader, and humanitarian who laid the foundations of our union." He emphasised how these values continue to guide society today.
Museum's Role in Cultural Preservation
Al Mubarak noted that "The Zayed National Museum provides a platform that brings together the local community and visitors from around the world to draw inspiration from the legacy and values of the late founding father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan." The museum showcases UAE's rich history through artifacts that tell stories of its continuous development.
This is the second traveling exhibition organised by the Zayed National Museum in partnership with museums across UAE. It highlights museums' role in preserving cultural heritage while enriching community understanding of national identity.
The exhibition's location in Ajman reflects its deep connection to Emirati identity. It underscores Ajman's commitment to supporting national efforts in preserving heritage for future generations while enhancing cultural tourism within the emirate.
