History and culture are once again the focus of another exhibition, which opened yesterday under the name ‘Ancient Bahrain: The Power of Trade’ at the Sharjah Archaeology Museum.
His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, inaugurated the exhibition, which will run until March 29, 2015.
The exhibition is the result of collaboration between the Sharjah Archaeology Museum and Bahrain National Museum, and supports initiatives between the Bahrain Ministry of Culture and Sharjah Museums Department (SMD). The exhibition offers an insight into ancient trade links around the Arabian Gulf, and features artifacts from Bahrain National Museum’s permanent collection, focusing on the Dilmun civilization. It displays about 130 selected artefacts including stone stamps, pottery, glassware, ivory, and alabaster kitchen pieces, as well as golden pieces and stone exhibits that testify to the richness of the region’s trade activity during that era.
