An agreement paving the way for joint cultural programming, knowledge exchange and enhanced support for the capital’s artistic revival has been signed.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was inked between the Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Company and the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (Baca).
Under the deal, Kanoo Museum – Bahrain’s first private family museum under the company – will collaborate with Baca across the cultural and museum sectors, marking a strategic public-private partnership to advance the local cultural landscape.
As part of this collaboration, Kanoo Museum will be incorporated into Bahrain’s cultural tourism destination map, supporting efforts to diversify the kingdom’s cultural offerings.
Kanoo Museum’s chairman Dr Faisal Kanoo signed the agreement with Baca’s president Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa during a ceremony held at the Bahrain National Museum.
“Our agreement with the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities reflects a shared vision to further elevate Bahrain’s cultural sector through meaningful collaboration. Integrating private heritage initiatives within the broader national cultural framework not only strengthens the preservation of our collective history, but also enhances the depth and accessibility of cultural experiences offered across the kingdom,” added Dr Kanoo.
Shaikh Khalifa added that such strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors underscore the importance of integration and collaborative cultural efforts in achieving visions that inspire our cities.
