RIYADH: Featuring echoes of the past and cherished memories, Salman Al-Omrani of Haql in Tabuk has transformed his private majlis to provide a glimpse into bygone days, according to a Saudi Press Agency report.

His passion and dedication have led to the development of an extensive heritage collection that includes copies of the Holy Qur’an, vintage newspapers, televisions, telephones, sewing machines, cassette tapes, traditional furniture, textiles and other artifacts.

These carefully curated items reflect Al-Omrani’s efforts to preserve cultural heritage and offer visitors a chance to explore authentic mementos of the community’s history, the SPA added. 

Al-Omrani said his love for national heritage inspired him to collect the treasures so that he could introduce younger generations to the lives of their ancestors and the Kingdom’s development journey.

He emphasized his commitment to continue collecting, displaying and documenting historical tools and artifacts, along with folk poems and songs, to instill pride and strengthen cultural identity.
