Books Celebrating Art and Culture

The al-Sabah Collection is dedicated to more than the collection of beautiful objects. It is an organisation committed to promoting awareness and appreciation for all aspects of art and culture in the Islamic world, from the early Bronze Age to the present. The books included in this section range from political histories to children’s fables and what they have in common is an ability to help the reader better understand this region and the people who call it home.
