A Tour At Modern Art Museum Of Kuwait

I dragged a friend recently to Kuwait's Museum of Modern Art since I have never been there before and I was always interested to see the inside of this old Kuwaiti building and what kind of "art" was displayed. Honestly speaking here, I didn't expect to see much. I had a very very low expectation. However, the moment I stepped inside, I had a whole new perspective and a whole a lot of respect to the National Committee of Culture Arts And Literature.

I thought it would be interesting to share with you some of the pieces I liked and to give you an idea of what is it all about. Let's just say it's a quick change from fashion related posts and a little bit more into culture and lifestyle.

The museum of Modern Art contains a collection of exquisite works, some of which belong to the 1950's. The museum is located at (Madrisa Al Sharqiya) and it represents a valuable historical and cultural period for the people of Kuwait. Some of the Kuwaiti Artists who alreay have their creations on display incluse: Safwan Al-Ayoobi, Thurayya Al-Baqsami, Abdulla Al-Qassar, and more..

The museum seeks to relate closely artists to the Arab world and museuns of art to represent Kuwait in the autistics field. The Modern Art Museum contains works of various schools besides handcrafts production, (clay, statues, and sculpures).



I loved the mix of old and new at the museum, for example, the elevator shown in the above-pic is made in a very unique and modern look.
