The story

Qurain Art Exhibition in Modern Art Museum

The Qurain Art Exhibition is the comprehensive visual arts showcase held at Kuwait's Museum of Modern Art as a flagship component of the Qurain Cultural Festival. Running since the festival's 1994 founding, it brings together Kuwaiti painters and visual artists across generations under one roof.

Since the Qurain Cultural Festival's founding in 1994, its comprehensive visual arts exhibition has been staged separately from the festival's theatre and literary programming, housed instead in the dedicated galleries of Kuwait's Museum of Modern Art, itself set inside a building originally constructed in 1939 to serve as the Eastern School, one of the country's most historically significant former educational sites.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The exhibition's defining feature is its cross-generational curation: established Kuwaiti painters exhibit alongside younger contemporary artists in the same galleries, giving visitors a single-visit survey of the country's visual arts scene rather than a narrowly themed show

02

The mystery stays covered

Its home inside the Museum of Modern Art, a building with its own history as the former Eastern School, adds historical texture that a temporary exhibition tent elsewhere in the city could not offer
