Treasures of Bahrain: Art of Gold Crafting Through Ages Exhibition Concludes in Moscow
Moscow: After more than three months of highlighting Bahrain's rich gold craftsmanship, the Treasures of Bahrain: The Art of Gold Crafting Through the Ages exhibition has concluded at the State Historical Museum in Moscow. According to Bahrain News Agency, the exhibition was inaugurated in November last year in the presence of Bahraini and Russian officials as part of Bahrain's Cultural Days in Moscow. This initiative was held under the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities and the Russian Ministry of Culture during the historic visit of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, to the Russian Federation. Through a curated selection of artefacts, the exhibition offered insight into the history of gold craftsmanship in Bahrain, tracing its evolution from the Tylos period over 2000 years ago, through the Islamic era, and into the modern age. It provided an opportunity to explore the artistry of Bahraini goldsmiths. The exhibition also featured items from the Al Mannai Jewellery collection, as well as tools and documents showcasing Bahrain's efforts to preserve this craft and its role in the local economy. As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, Bahrain is also hosting the Russian Seasons, an initiative that coincides with the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Russian Federation. The programme has already presented a series of cultural highlights, including a concert by the Mariinsky Orchestra at the Bahrain National Theatre and a dance performance by the State Academic Honored Dance Ensemble of Dagestan, Lezginka. The Russian Seasons will continue throughout 2025 with two major cultural performances. The ballet The Nutcracker will grace the stage of the Bahrain National Theatre, while the Ossipov National Academic Folk Instruments Orchestra of Russia will perform at the Cultural Hall, accompanied by a Bahraini folk band.
