Sharjah Biennial - Contemporary Art Exhibition

One of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, Sharjah is an overlooked gem. The Heart of Sharjah contains many galleries, museums and other exhibit spaces.
There are 16 official museums listed on the Sharjah Museums homepage. Many of these spaces were transformed and presented awesome contemporary art from all over the world for the biennial exhibition.

I am very lucky to be a part of the Dubai Natural History Group which organized a bus and a tour of the various locations where the biennial exhibition was held. Sharjah is only 20 minutes from my place in Dubai, but it's a confusing place to get around, so a bus tour is ideal for touring the museums.

Here is a glimpse of some of what we saw.

I look forward to checking this out again in 2019!
