It is located near Qubbat al-Mutawakkil Mosque dome in Al-Tahreer Square in the city center.

The Museum recently moved to a nearby building called Dar Al-Sada (Palace of Happiness).

The relocation was made to the newly renovated Palace because it offers the necessary space to accommodate the increasing number of artifacts throughout the history of Yemen.

The National Museum consists of the four-story building and its room has been reserved for the presentation of rare artifacts and monuments.

Dar al-Shukr was converted into the National Heritage Museum in 1991 but has been closed for many years due to the lack of preparations and overhaul.
