Museum of modern arts talk about history of arts in kuwait from 1960 to 2019 and he was a school for boy then for girls

beautiful loved the art shown there

The museum is house is what was Kuwait’s first school for girls. Hence you’ll notice the many exhibits rooms (to what was once classrooms) and the open recess in the center (what was a playground and assembly point). The museum houses many sculptures and paintings by local and Arab artists over two floors. The place is wheelchair accessible as there’s an elevator to access both stories.

We were the only ones there. Nice place to spend a couple hours walking around and seeing the interesting exhibits.

(Translated by Google) The Museum of Modern Art of the National Council for Culture, Arts and Literature is located in Kuwait City on the front of Al-Khaleej Al Arabi Street, and one of the important details in this place is that since the beginning of the last decade it has been transformed from a school that was considered one of the oldest and most prestigious Kuwaiti schools, to a museum of modern art. History of the building The building was occupied by the Oriental School, which was established in 1939 as a school for boys, and with the passage of time the building was neglected, until the UNESCO decision to protect and preserve all old buildings was made into a shrine. However, the building remained neglected, especially after the 1990 Gulf War, and in 2001 the building was restored and other parts were added to it, so work on it began according to a comprehensive architectural study carried out by the National Council for Culture, Arts and Literature with the aim of identifying the strength of the building’s foundation and its ability to withstand restoration work. Eastern School This school was established under the name of the Eastern School in the year 1939, as it was initially devoted to educating boys, and among its most important students at that time was the late Emir of the country Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and His Highness the Emir of the country Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad and other well-known Kuwaiti personalities, then it turned into a school for girls Ikf After that, the National Council for Culture restored it, especially after it was damaged by the days of the invasion, and the building was officially opened after the restoration in 2003. Upon entering the museum gate, you notice the old design of the school because it is the result of the environmental impact that expresses the local character, which is the true image of a distinguished period in the history of the ancient heritage architecture in Kuwait, which is what distinguished this place, where the building materials used such as sea rock, mud and gypsum The wood, in addition to teak wood imported from India, sandalwood, basil and mats imported from Africa and Kenya, is a distinctive historical flavor that the visitor feels upon entering this place. When crossing from the old wooden gate to the museum foyer, or what was known in ancient times as the school or yard monsters. the museum The museum includes many wonderful plastic works that were distributed in a coherent and attractive manner throughout the place. The classrooms of the school have in turn turned into stone for displaying paintings and works of art, so that each field or artistic field was assigned a room of its own, and at the beginning you will encounter a room that combined old photographs of the school and a group Of its students, professors and graduates, as well as pictures of old Kuwait, sea heritage, fishing, pearls and other scenes that depict Kuwait, as well as a spot of the wall that has remained without restoration so that the visitor can touch it and recognize the features of the original construction of this place. Paintings expressing the various art and plastic schools begin to get acquainted with them closely upon entering the stone. The remaining Kuwaiti artists such as Khazal Al-Qaffas, Jassem Buhamed and Ali Al-Balushi, as well as Arab artists such as the Egyptian artist Alaa Hijazi, and the Egyptian Minister of Culture, Farouk Hosni the Syrian Nazir Nabeh Al-Iraqi Hani Mazhar is the owner of the only Iraqi painting inside the museum, as well as the Lebanese artist Hareer and Amin Pasha. Parts of the museum The museum consists of two main parts: the first is a building made of clay, and the other is made of cement. The first part: which is called "The Hosh A"; Faithful to the main gate and a large square surrounded by a group of small rooms, this part was almost collapsed, which obliged the project managers to rebuild it and not restore it. In addition, the museum is full of paintings and works by international artists who lived in Kuwait or visited them to hold exhibitions and display their paintings, such as the Canadian Jerry Gray, the French Rene Casper and the American Susan Krael, and among these works were what the National Council bought for the museum, but most of them were what they gifted. These artists for display in the museum, we mention among them the Spanish artist Pedro Ribalta, who worked for many years in the United States of America, where he produced a large group of artworks under the name of "The Kuwait Collection", which he presented to the Emir of the country and is currently displayed inside the museum. The Museum of Modern Art is one of the most important cultural museums in the State of Kuwait, and it is located on the Arabian Gulf in Kuwait City. Holdings The museum consists of many holdings from all over the world, and the Arab world in particular, and some of the most important works in the museum are: Painting "Continuous Life", by Syrian artist Bassem Dahdouh Painting "The Princess of Andalusia", by the Lebanese artist Amine Al-Basha One of the paintings of the Spanish artist, Pedro Ribalta, which he donated to Kuwait after the liberation. Painting "Oil Fires", by American Susan Crayel. Multiple paintings by the Egyptian Minister of Culture, Farouk Hosni. Bronze statue of "Asari", by Kuwaiti sculptor Khazal Al-Qaffas. Painting "Children of Palestine in the Twentieth Century" by Kuwaiti artist Abdullah Al-Qassar. (Original) يقع متحف الفن الحديث التابع للمجلس الوطني للثقافة والفنون والآداب في مدينة الكويت بواجهة شارع الخليج العربي، ومن أحد التفاصيل المهمة في هذا المكان هو أنه قد تحول منذ بداية العقد الماضي من مدرسة، كانت تعد إحدى أقدم وأعرق المدارس الكويتية، إلى متحف للفن ااحديث. تاريخ المبنى كان يشغل المبنى المدرسة الشرقية، التي أنشئت في عام 1939 كمدرسة للبنين، ومع مرور الوقت أهمل المبنى، حتي أتي قرار اليونسكو بحماية والحفاظ على كل المباني القديمة فحول إلى مزار. لكن ظل المبنى مهمل خصوصاً بعد حرب 1990 حرب الخليج وفي عام 2001 تم ترميم المبنى وأضيفت إليه أجزاء أخرى فبدأ العمل فيه وفق دراسة إنشائية معمارية شاملة قام بها المجلس الوطني للثقافة والفنون والآداب بهدف التعرف على مدى متانة أساس المبنى وقدرتة على تحمل أعمال الترميم. المدرسة الشرقية تم تأسيس هذه المدرسة تحت مسمى المدرسة الشرقية في العام 1939 حيث خصصت في البداية لتعليم البنين وكان من أهم تلاميذها في ذلك الوقت أمير البلاد الراحل الشيخ جابر الأحمد الصباح و صاحب السمو أمير البلاد الشيخ صباح الأحمد وغيرهم من الشخصيات الكويتية المعروفة ثم تحولت إلى مدرسة للبنات عكف بعدها المجلس الوطني للثقافة على ترميمها لا سيما بعدما لحق بها من ضرر أيام الغزو وتم افتتاح المبنى بعد الترميم بشكل رسمي في العام 2003. عند الدخول من بوابة المتحف يلفت نظرك الشكل التصميمي القديم للمدرسة لأنه وليد التأثير البيئي المعبر عن الطابع المحلي والذي يعتبر الصورة الحقيقية لفترة مميزة في تاريخ العمارة التراثية القديمة في الكويت، وهو الأمر الذي ميز هذا المكان، حيث كان لمواد البناء المستخدمة مثل صخر البحر والطين والجبس والخشب فضلا عن خشب الصاج المستورد من الهند والشندل والباسجيل والحصير المستورد من أفريقيا وكينيا، نكهة تاريخية مميزة يشعر بها الزائر فور دخوله لهذا المكان. عند العبور من البوابة الخشبية القديمة إلى بهو المتحف أو ما يعرف قديما بحوش المدرسة أو الفناء. المتحف يضم المتحف العديد من الأعمال التشكيلية الرائعة التي وزعت بشكل متسق وجذاب في أرجاء المكان، فصول المدرسة قد تحولت بدورها إلى حجر لعرض اللوحات والأعمال الفنية حتى خصص لكل مجال أو حقل فني غرفة خاصة به، وفي البداية ستصادفك حجرة جمعت بين أركانها صورا فوتوغرافية قديمة للمدرسة ومجموعة من طلبتها وأساتذتها وخريجيها، فضلا عن صور للكويت القديمة وتراث البحر وصيد الأسماك  واللؤلؤ وغيرها من المناظر التي تصور الكويت فضلا عن بقعة من الحائط قد بقيت دون ترميم حتى يتسنى للزائر لمسها والتعرف على ملامح البناء الأصلي لهذا المكان. لوحات تشكيلية تنطق عن مختلف المدارس الفنية والتشكيلية تبدأ بالتعرف إليها عن قرب فور الدخول إلى الحجر الباقية لفنانين كويتيين مثل، خزعل القفاص, جاسم بوحمد وعلي البلوشي، فضلا عن فنانين عرب كالفنان المصري علاء حجازي, ووزير الثقافة المصري, فاروق حسني السوري نذير نبعة العراقي هاني مظهر وهو صاحب اللوحة العراقية الوحيدة داخل المتحف فضلا عن الفنان اللبناني هرير وأمين باشا. أجزاء المتحف يتكون المتحف من جزئين أساسيين: الأول هو مبنى من الطين، والآخر من الأسمنت، الجزء الأول: والذي يسمى "الحوش أ"؛ وفية البوابة الرئيسية وساحة واسعة تحيطها مجموعة من الغرف الصغيرة، كان هذا الجزء شبه منهار، مما ألزم القائمين على المشروع بإعادة بنائه وليس ترميمه. بالإضافة إلى ذلك فإن المتحف يعج بلوحات وأعمال لفنانين عالميين كانوا يعيشون في الكويت أو قاموا بزيارتها لإقامة معارضهم وعرض لوحاتهم مثل الكندي جيري جراي، والفرنسية رينية كاسبر والأميريكية سوزان كرايل، وقد كان من بين هذه الأعمال ما اشتراها المجلس الوطني لصالح المتحف أما أغلبها فكان مما أهداها هؤلاء الفنانين للعرض في المتحف، نذكر منهم الفنان الإسباني بيدرو ريبالتا والذي عمل لسنوات طويلة في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية حيث قام بإنتاج مجموعة كبيرة من الأعمال الفنية تحت مسمى "مجموعة الكويت" أهداها لأمير البلاد وتعرض حاليا داخل المتحف. متحف الفن الحديث هو أحد أهم المتاحف الثقافية في دولة الكويت, وهو يقبع على الخليج العربي في مدينة الكويت. المقتنيات يتكون الكتحف من مقتنيات عديدة من جميع النحاء العالم, والعالم العربي خاصتاً, وبعض أهم الأعمال في المتحف هي: لوحة "الحياة المستمرة", للفنان السوري باسم دحدوح لوحة "أميرة أندلسية", للفنان اللبناني أمين الباشا أحد لوحات الفنان الأسباني بدرو ريبالتا, التي أهداها للكويت بعد التحرير. لوحة "حرائق النفط", بريشة الأمريكية سوزان كرايل. لوحات متعددة لوزير الثقافة المصري, الفنان فاروق حسني. تمثال "العصاري" البرونزي, للنحات الكويتي خزعل القفاص. لوحة "أطفال فلسطين في القرن العشرين" للفنان الكويتي عبد الله القصار.

Nice museum with a decent selection of art (over 10 rooms with work probably). Free entry. No one takes tickets or anything. Just walk in and walk around on your own. Only saw one other person the whole time I was there. Weird location, not really near much else if you are walking. Was hard to get a cab away from.

(Translated by Google) The building is beautiful on the outside, and retains its original heritage splendor (Original) المبنى جميل من الخارج و محتفظ ب الرونق التراثي الأصيل

Tiny bit interesting museum of modern art placed in a very traditional building. There is an interesting gap between the works that talks about war and what happened right after. Let's say it's more of a national museum of modern art but not one to be of great importance for modern art. Sculptures are of very good quality, works telling the horrors of war are of utmost interest.

We attended the unveiling of a mural this evening. It would be nice to see the space utilized for multifunctional events that music and dance along with contemporary arts.

A beautiful enormous old traditional Kuwaiti house holds the Museum of Modern Art that consists a number of artworks of local artists. I loved the essence and old traditional architecture, specially the open sky square at the center of the house, where the “WINGS OF MEXICO” (photo) is placed.

Nice place but it isn’t easy to get there for new comers , even the taxi didn’t know how to get to it , hopefully in the future the road will be better.

(Translated by Google) I would like to point out my observation as points: - There is no fee to enter the museum. - The place is difficult to reach. - No reception. - There is no map of the museum. - Distribution of paintings according to the similarity with some random. - No description of the halls or paintings or names of artists. - There is no information about the museum in a brochure or brochures. - Technical figures that have been placed in the corridors, mostly of wood and copper, where lighting factors may affect them in the long run. - There are some stray dogs outside the museum but his pet. (Original) بحط لكم ملاحظتي كنقاط: - لا توجد رسوم لدخول المتحف. - المكان صعب الوصول. - لا يوجد استقبال. - لا توجد خريطة للمتحف. - توزيع اللوحات الفنية حسب التشابه مع بعض العشوائية. - لا يوجد وصف للصالات أو اللوحات أو أسماء الفنانين. - لا توجد أي معلومة عن المتحف في كتيب أو بروشور. - المجسمات الفنية التي تم وضعها في الممرات أغلبها من الخشب والنحاس حيث ان عوامل الإضاءة قد تؤثر عليها على المدى البعيد. - يوجد بعض الكلاب الضالة خارج المتحف لكنها أليفه.

One of the few Art Museums in the country. In a traditional building and settings.

The Museum of Modern Art is an art museum in Kuwait City, Kuwait. It hosts a collection of modern Arab and international art. The building has always served as an educational institution; it was built in 1939 to house the Madrasa Al Sharqiya, or Eastern School in which generations of prominent Kuwaitis studied, including the current Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad.

it's a nice space to check for art lovers in kuwait !

Rather lackluster and not so great of a marketing and reach out.

Wherever I go, I always go to visit the local or national museum of contemporary or modern art. I think these museums tell a lot about a country's attitude towards art and culture. For such a wealthy country, this museum is a disappointment. The sculptures are definitely more interesting than the paintings which seem to be a collection of donations rather than a carefully curated collection to represent a nation's creative arts. I didn't go upstairs because there were no lights on up there. The other Gulf states celebrate the arts so enthusiastically so I don't understand why Kuwait, once the pearl of the Gulf has such a weak collection in this museum. Disappointing.
