DOHA - HE Foreign Minister Dr. Khalid bin Mohamed Al Attiyah on Wednesday visited the second Mal Lawal biennale, which runs until the end of February and is being held at the Doha Exhibition Centre.
The visit comes in appreciation of Qatar Museums in enhancing arts, linking society members to their history, and deepening ties among GCC states as the exhibition features a unique showcase of private collections from Qatar and some GCC countries.
HE Dr. Al Attiyah toured the biennale accompanied with Qatar Museums acting CEO Mansour bin Ibrahim Al Mahmoud and examined the collections on show at the exhibition.
Mal Lawal, "from the old Days" in Qatari dialect, displays 4,000 traditional artefacts gathered by more than 110 Qatari private collectors and 42 from the wider GCC region.
Organized into nine categories, Mal Lawal features manuscripts, weapons, Islamic collections, old maps, ethnographic and heritage items, antiquities, jewellery, clothing and accessories and many other rare items from Qatar and GCC.
