Abstract
This article explores the importance of Fine Art Museums to Art Education in the context of Oman. Although it will shed light, other creative avenues of Art education have developed in the country, such as collaboration and small private exhibitions, and it is argued here that there can be no complete substitute for public Fine Art museums to help develop Artists’ understanding and knowledge of their field. It will play a role in filling the gap of knowledge with regard to the function played by Museums with regard to Fine Art Education in Oman.
Highlights

It will play a role in filling the gap of knowledge with regard to the function played by Museums with regard to Fine Art Education in Oman
Art Museum can be regarded as an alternative approach to developing Art Education in Oman, to date, Oman has a number of museums that display items of local heritage and history, such as the Natural History Museum, the Omani-French Museum, the Children’s Museum and the Military Museum
Summary
This research draws attention to the role of Art Museums as they act as cultural centers for students, professional Artists and the general public alike. In Oman, an Art museum does not exist yet and it cannot play a role in teaching Art and Art teachers cannot integrate and benefit from such a great resource in their classroom instruction”. Because of this, he concluded that “it is important that the Omani government understands the role of Art museums and galleries in teaching visual arts; Art museums can provide students with the opportunity to feel and experience firsthand the sublime power of great Art and the sense of beauty” (Al-Amri, 2006: 9). Everyone should have a fervent experience of the arts both through their cultural history and their own practical experience
