"Overall, Exell portrays a broad and varied picture of the Arabian museum landscape: as people negotiate their relationship with modernity, some take a more global view, while others seek to highlight their own cultures and traditions. These processes happen simultaneously, which requires the observer to have a holistic vision of museums and cultural production in the region. Exell’s book provides us with the methodological and emotional tools to comprehend that vision."
Sebastian Maisel, Grand Valley State University, USA
Modernity and the Museum in the Arabian Peninsula is dedicated to the recent and rapid high-profile development of museums in the Arabian Peninsula, focusing on the a number of the Arabian Peninsula states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and theUAE.

Alongside such developments is a rich world of collection and displaying material culture in homes and private museums that is little known to the outside world.
Museum Studies literature has struggled to keep pace with such developments and Modernity and the Museum in the Arabian Peninsula is the first book to coherently present:
Museums Studies students and museum professionals now have a book that fills an important gap in the picture of the museum worldwide. Contextualising this study in the history and politics of the region, from a scholar working within the region, this in-depth overview and critical analysis of museums in the Arabian Peninsula stands alone as an entry into this important topic.
