Dar Al Funoon

Established in 1993, the gallery focuses on contemporary Arab art as well as Arabic calligraphy. Exhibitions are held monthly from October to May, and a special silk exhibition of arts and crafts is held in December. Between temporary exhibitions, items from the private collection are on display, which can be bought. The gallery is located behind the church area, between the Sheraton Hotel and the Arabian Gulf Street. The area itself is interesting thanks to its old Kuwaiti-style houses and a large courtyard which includes a number of excellent restaurants. Not only is the gallery renowned for furnishing many of the hotels in Kuwait, but many visitors or departing expats go there to buy their very own piece of local art.
