Sharjah: Shrine of the Muses

“Sharjah is home to one of the best museums in the world – the Sharjah Art Museum – and no one
knows about it, no one goes to it; it’s unbelievable,” mused world-renowned artist Sacha Jafri on a recent trip to the UAE. “Sharjah Art Museum has exhibited work by some of the greatest artists of the last century and no one has been, despite the fact that it’s considered one of the top ten art museums in the world. This needs to change.” Members of the Sharjah Museums Department would argue that this is changing, albeit gradually.
