Miknas Car Museum

Miknas Car Museum is the private classic-car collection of collector Akram Miknas, shown periodically in central Manama mall exhibition spaces. The display highlights unrestored and restored vehicles spanning early 20th century models to mid-century European and American classics.

Exhibits have been presented at venues such as Dana Mall and Moda Mall rather than a permanent standalone building. The presentation is compact—around a couple of dozen vehicles—and focuses on marquee examples like a 1913 Clement Bayard, early Fords and several luxury marques.

A compact, largely static display of vintage automobiles from a private collection, arranged for close viewing in a mall exhibition area.

Look out for:

• Early 1910s models such as a Clement Bayard and a Ford Model T.

• Interwar and mid-century classics including a Ford Model A, Jaguar E‑type and Rolls‑Royce.

• A mix of American and European marques with signage explaining provenance where available.

• A small number of cars on rotation rather than a large museum-scale collection.

Best way to experience it: Visit during mall hours to combine the exhibit with other Manama sightseeing; plan for a short visit (30–60 minutes). Check the mall or local listings in advance for current display location and opening status.
