Ajman Museum occupies Al Hisn Ajman, a coral-stone fort built around 1775 that served as the ruling Al Nuaimi family's residence and later as the Ajman police headquarters. Converted to a museum in 1981 and reopened to the public in 1991, it is the smallest of the Northern Emirates fort-museums but among the most atmospheric, with strong weapons, manuscripts, and pearling collections.
