A specialized form of this historical museum collects and exhibits material from an ethnographic viewpoint. As the term suggests, emphasis is placed on culture rather than chronology in the presentation of the collections. During the design of this historical museum, it is intended to use contemporary materials, where they do not deny the existence of the minaret, thus respecting the cultural and traditional architecture.
