University Students to Curate Exhibition at Museum of Islamic Art

GULF TIMES

QATAR---Students of the Museum and Gallery Practice Master’s Degree programme at University College London Qatar (UCL Qatar) are curating an exhibition to run at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) from May 1 to June 2. As part of the Qatar UK 2013 Year of Culture celebrations, the exhibition, named “Backstage”, explores the work that goes on behind the scenes in a museum. Utilising stunning examples of Iznik pottery from the Museum of Islamic Art’s collections, the exhibition conveys the work of archaeologists, conservators and curators, disciplines that are unfamiliar to many museum goers.
