Msheireb Museums will also expand its summer programme with new workshops in August. Visitors can now explore resin art, 3D printing, solar-powered miniatures, and embroidery, in addition to ongoing favourites such as Lego Printmaking, Arabic Calligraphy, and Gypsum Crafts. These diverse activities, catering to various age groups, offer hands-on learning experiences within the museums' historic buildings.
