ART IN EXILE: a Kuwaiti Experience – Arabic

Description

This is the story of the “Islamic Art & Patronage” exhibition, which travelled from its opening at The State Hermitage Museum during the invasion of Kuwait until its return 12 years later, as told through news clippings & images. “When one looks at life through the eyes of a thousand-year old bead, one does not seen the days or the months, but the decades and centuries. The challenges that these artifacts have overcome, and the triumph of such achievements, will surely help protect all art collections from the degradations of war.” (HAS)
