Organized into five thematic sections, the Doha exhibition examines different aspects of culinary traditions in Islamic culture, from preparation and presentation to their role in rituals, celebrations and daily life.
On display are over 100 items from the Museum of Islamic Art’s collection, along with select loans from other Qatar Museums institutions and the Qatar National Library. These include lavish serving vessels, cooking tools, manuscripts, ceramics and textiles.
“The original idea for the exhibition came from LACMA, which Qatar Museums has an official partnership with,” Tara Desjardins, senior curator of decorative arts and design at Lusail Museum, said recently.
