The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities is marking International Museum Day 2026 with a week-long cultural programme designed to bring communities together through history, art, and shared experiences. Running from May 16 to 23, the initiative is held under this year\u2019s global theme, \u201cMuseums Uniting a Divided World,\u201d highlighting the role museums play as trusted public spaces that connect people across generations and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities will take place across several of Bahrain\u2019s leading cultural institutions, including the Bahrain National Museum, Qal’at Al-Bahrain Site Museum, and the Post Office Museum. The programme also features participation from the Kanoo Museum as part of a wider collaboration between the public and private sectors to strengthen Bahrain\u2019s cultural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors can expect guided tours, lectures, workshops, and interactive activities tailored for children, families, students, and art enthusiasts. One of the programme\u2019s key highlights is the ongoing exhibition, \u201cHis Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa: Life and Legacy,\u201d currently hosted at the Bahrain National Museum until July 31. Guests will also have the opportunity to join guided tours of the 52nd Bahrain Annual Fine Arts Exhibition, offering a closer look at Bahrain\u2019s contemporary creative scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme further expands internationally through a collaboration between BACA and the Zayed National Museum. As part of the initiative, the Bahrain National Museum will host \u201cZayed National Museum: Celebrating the Ancient Ties Between Magan and Dilmun,\u201d an exhibition exploring the historical links between ancient Bahrain and the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Kanoo Museum will spotlight Bahrain\u2019s cultural memory through panel discussions, visual arts sessions, and workshops focused on traditional crafts and Manama\u2019s evolving identity. With museums transforming into interactive cultural hubs for the week, the programme positions Bahrain\u2019s heritage sector at the center of community engagement and regional dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
