Issued in 1992, this stamp commemorates the inauguration of the Omani-French Museum in Muscat. The design shows the interior courtyard of the historic building that houses the museum, characterized by traditional Omani architecture with arcades, carved wooden ceilings, and a central open space. The museum was established to preserve and celebrate the long history of diplomatic, cultural, and commercial relations between Oman and France, which date back several centuries.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Sultanate of Oman highlighted the importance of cultural cooperation and historical understanding between nations. The issue celebrated the shared heritage of Oman and France and emphasized the value of museums in preserving history, promoting education, and strengthening international cultural ties.
