This exhibition combines the world of the past with the world of the present and the future. Its concept reflecs the strong ties that bind the Kingdom of Bahrain with the United Arab Emirates as nations as peoples. As a result of this connection, it was decided that the exhibition would be held in the Emirate of Sharjah. The exhibition comes as part of Bahrain's celebrations as the capital of Asian Tourism 2014 and Sharjah's celebrations as the Capital of Islamic Culture in 2014. The artefacts selected for this exhibition highlight the importance of ancient Dilumn as a dynamic marketplace established on the crossroads of the ancient maritime trading routes which linked the NEar East with the Indian sub-continent- a tradition which historically contributed to the present-day culture of exchange between nations in the region.
