Creativity is the ability to think of new ideas, concepts, or solutions in original and imaginative ways. It involves using your imagination to come up with unique and innovative approaches to problems or tasks. Creative individuals often think outside the box, make connections between seemingly unrelated things, and bring a fresh perspective to the table. Creativity can manifest in various forms, such as art, music, writing, design, problem-solving, and more. It’s about expressing oneself in a way that is inventive, authentic, and inspiring.

Working in Bait Al Nabooda museum in Sharjah, I chose to research creativity because I see its power to transform how museums engage and inspire diverse audiences. Creativity shapes how we design exhibits, tell stories, and connect with our community, making cultural heritage more accessible and relevant. By exploring this concept, I aim to help museums become dynamic spaces that honour the past while inspiring future generations.
The one strength of creativity is its capacity to transform museums entirely, to free our minds from traditional views and museum resistances.

As a person from a country under occupation and in the midst of all the difficulties, threats and obstacles, the term creativity is the best term that sums up what we must possess in order to achieve the dreams, achievements and distinction we aspire to.
Creativity is important in the museum's work because the necessary capabilities and resources are not always available for museum work. Creativity is employed to generate possibilities and opportunities, even if they are simple, to be used in building museums and developing their exhibitions.
