Qatar always has exciting exhibitions to look forward to and here are a few of them. Which ones will you visit?

Fragments by Mahmoud Obaidi

Runs till 30 January 2017 at Qatar Museum Gallery Katara

In this exhibition, Mahmoud Obaidi retraces the 'organised chaos' that led to the destruction of Iraq, and presents a response to witnessing the city of Baghdad fall piece by piece. In his work, Obaidi recreates what has been stolen or destroyed to try to piece the city back together again. The exhibition shows how Obaidi is grappling with the destruction of an 8,000-year-old civilisation, which has been laid waste in less than a fraction of that time.

Entry is free for all.

Timings: 10am – 8pm everyday except Fridays (3pm – 9pm). Closed on Sundays.
