Finally the Al Riwaq exhibition center is opening with a new exhibition. This time is the 2nd edition of the Mal Lawal that will be presenting interesting private collections of Qataris.
Mal Lawal means ‘from the old days’ and its the perfect name that symbolizes all the history and heritage beyond each object.
"Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Father Emir officially launched the second Mal Lawal – biennial organized by Qatar Museums.
Mal Lawal is the only event of its kind in the region. A unique showcase of private collections, it blends heritage and culture and celebrates historically and socially significant objects and antiques. The initiative is made possible under the guidance and leadership of HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of #QatarMuseums"
The collection also includes a large collection of rare manuscripts donated by the Emir.
Also in will be showcased a display of contemporary work by three generation of Qatari Artists.
I will pass by for sure and will post some pictures!
The exhibition (next to the Islamic Museum) will be open until January 2015 and the entrance is FREE.
