Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) will organise Lawal Antiquities Exhibition from October 22 to 24, 2018, at the Multaqa building (formerly known as the Education City Student Center).
The exhibition will showcase rarities that date back to more than a century.
Visitors will be treated to a display of antique objects including old cameras, televisions and radios that were vastly popular prior to the advancement of modern-day technologies.
The exhibition will also feature a display of traditional Qatari clothes and historical books to inform visitors of the country’s ancestral past, as well as its roadmap for the future.
Vice-president of student affairs at HBKU, Maryam al-Mannai, said: “The exhibition meets HBKU’s consistent objectives of immersing the wider community in culturally enriching experiences. The exhibition will provide visitors with a detailed explanation of each object and its relevance; offer live black-and-white photography sessions; and present screenings of old movies”.
She added: “HBKU student affairs is committed to nurturing a positive student experience by regularly hosting cultural events and sporting activities to service the Education City community.”
The Lawal Antiquities Exhibition is set to run from October 22 to 24.
