Oman, boasting a history of centuries, centuries of tradition being equal to centuries, is even today attempting to adopt extreme measures in preserving its cultural heritage. The government, with impromptu action by the concerned public, makes efforts that preserve the physical and intangible culture of the nation so that culture tradition and knowledge are passed on to the next generation.
Most of the finest problems are the preservation of architectural history. The nation has more than enough fortresses, castles, and old structures, and all are basically historical sites. Restoration occurs at regular intervals by master craftsmen as well as by historians using the help of traditional construction methods. The restoration is carried out in a way that the aesthetic and historic value of the Omani designs is maintained without losing their architectural potential for educational and tourism uses.
Similarly, conservation of intangible heritage by means of traditional craft, music, and oral tradition is also done. Members of communities who specialize in such crafts as pottery, weaving, and metalwork also continue to learn and transfer such skills through institutional learning systems and workshops. Apart from conserving crafts, this process also assists in the generation of community pride and identity.
Culture music remains a cultural heritage. Regular open events and culture events are conducted from time to time across the country for retaining local performance. These events are a music performance platform as well as inspiring young generations towards preserving and learning these art heritage traditions.
The educational system is tactically involved in maintaining cultural heritage too. Omani literature, history, and folklore are imparted through school curricula, through which they become acquainted with their heritage nation. Museum and historical place excursions are integrated so that they learn through experience.
National activities that are the embodiment of national culture, like Muscat Festival, are incorporated in national campaigns in showcasing diversifying Omani traditional performances, arts, and crafts. Besides care for diversity in Omani culture, they assist in passing on disseminating interregional sharing of culture, awareness, and appreciation of national heritage among nationals.
Oman continues its integre ist tradition of culture preservation and promotion. Social relationship with the state institution indicates persisting national will towards cultural continuity. Books of the nation’s history, art, and traditional modes of subsistence are preserved and modernized for the following generation.
