Modernity and the Museum in the Arabian Peninsula is dedicated to
the recent and rapid high-profile development of museums in the
Arabian Peninsula, focusing on the a number of the Arabian
Peninsula states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and theUAE. These
Gulf states are dynamically involved in the establishment of
museums to preserve and , represent their distinct national culture
and heritage, as well as engaging in the regional and global art
worlds through the construction of state-of-the-art art museums.
Alongside such developments is a rich world of collection and
displaying material culture in homes and private museums that is
little known to the outside world. Museum Studies literature has
struggled to keep pace with such developments and Modernity and the
Museum in the Arabian Peninsula is the first book to coherently
present: a contemporary overview of the ever-evolving landscape of
museums and related heritage projects in the Arabian Peninsula a
critical evaluation of the nature of these museum projects within
the political and cultural conditions in the Arabian Peninsula
suggestions for productive ways forward for museum developments in
the Arabian Peninsula Museums Studies students and museum
professionals now have a book that fills an important gap in the
picture of the museum worldwide. Contextualising this study in the
history and politics of the region, from a scholar working within
the region, this in-depth overview and critical analysis of museums
in the Arabian Peninsula stands alone as an entry into this
important topic.
