\nA pic from a recent shopping trip...! But it wasn't in a regular shopping mall! 🛍\n\n\nDo you know the Antique Museum in Al Quoz? It's a Dubai institution! It may look like a regular warehouse from the outside but you'd be surprised to see the inside...!\n\n\nFrom (relatively) brightly lit, airconditioned halls... \n\n\n...to dark alleys... \n\n\nAlthough 1,8 million objects are stored here, it's technically not a museum.\n\n\nIt's probably the biggest souvenir / gift shop in the region! \n\n \nYou'll find anything here, from deities... \n\n...to Tintin! \n\nThere is also tasteful home decor....  \n\n\n...silverware...\n\n\nsmall furniture... \n\n\n...larger items\n\n\n\n...and a couple of wooden lions, just in case you were looking for these 😂\n\n\nThe store also provides custom frames and corporate gifts, in case you were wondering 🖼 \nIf you need a break you'll be welcome to sit down in the airconditioned area! \n\n\nYou might get lost once or twice but there will always be a staff member nearby to guide you back to safety! \n\n\n\nWe say: every UAE resident should have been at least once! It's Ali Baba's cave and a welcome diversion to the glitz and glam (not saying we don't like glitz and glam haha) ✨ \n\nMention you're a Dirham Stretcher follower and you'll get \n30% off this weekend\n and then \n15% off until the end of June 2021\n ✨\n\n\n\nThe Antique Museum is located \nhere\n and the opening hours are 9 AM to 8:30 PM.
