Cultivating the Past, Living the Modern
Amal Sachedina has written an essential book on heritage processes in Oman. Oman’s deep and complex history has resulted in its omission from many of the scholarly debates that have emerged since the 2010s, at which point the Gulf states began their conspicuous investment in high-profile heritage projects. Sachedina’s successful inclusion of Oman into these heritage discussions allows Oman’s distinct identity and specific religious and political …
Camel, blockade and a historical memory perspective
Camels from ancient times as early as 1200 BC were used as military vehicle and have been associated with the Near East and the Arabian Peninsula. In modern times they remain an important element of Bedouin life and culture (animal protein, dairy products and raw materials, an effective desert vehicle of transport and an indication of wealth). As such, camels are an integral component of heritage and society, essential to the development of Bedou…
Le Miroir des Cheikhs
Translated as The Mirror of the Sheikhs: Museums and Politics in the Persian Gulf States, the book’s title references its central argument that the new Gulf museums, such as the Museum of Islamic A
Doha’s Msheireb Heritage House Museums
Utopian Ideals, Unknowable Futures, and the Art Museum in the Arabian Peninsula
This paper explores ideas of the utopian in relation to art museums and the contemporary moment in the Arabian Peninsula. The transference of global art museums –– art museums constructed according to dominant Western art historical principles and museological practices –– to the Arabian Peninsula, has brought with it the rhetoric of post-Enlightenment depoliticized humanist idealism that argues for the ability of these museums to instrumentalize…
Desiring the past and reimagining the present
The collecting processes in Qatar at state level is intimately linked with the construction of a new Qatari identity for global consumption and national cohesion. At an individual level, collecting can be linked with the desire to preserve the disappearing present in the face of rapid development, as well as representing local traditions of authority and erudition. The national collections created for the first Qatar National Museum institutional…

Museums in Arabia
Modernity and the Museum in the Arabian Peninsula
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.

Doha’s cultural armature on display
After a brief discussion of the rapidly changing international museum world in Doha, this response piece engages with Peggy Levitt’s arguments around cultural armature and the role of museums in managing a city’s diversity, focusing on Doha, Qatar. Given the dominant migrant foreign population (88 per cent) and the careful protection of national citizenship in Qatar, the role of museums in managing diversity presents a situation that contrasts wi…
There is no heritage in Qatar
This article discusses the construction of Qatari heritage in the context of pre-conceived ideas of 'cultural heritage' predominant in the global and regional spheres that operate in this country. It considers the location of Qatar within Middle Eastern heritage discourses and debates, and identifies productive similarities as well as unique avenues for further discussion. The authors identify the challenge of formulating methodologies that are a…
