The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, in cooperation with the Zayed National Museum, will hold a special cultural event on Tuesday evening at the Bahrain National Museum.
The event includes a presentation titled "Zayed National Museum: Celebrating the Ancient Ties Between Magan and Dilmun," followed by a screening of the documentary film "A Bronze Age Boat Sails Again."
The event, in which representatives of the Zayed National Museum will participate, marks the first collaboration of its kind between the Bahrain National Museum and the Zayed National Museum since the latter's opening last year. It embodies the historical and cultural bonds shared by the two brotherly nations, as well as their joint endeavour to revive and consolidate a rich heritage and foster cultural continuity between past and present.
The presentation features historical information shedding light on the close ties between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, which are linked by an extensive network of trade, economic, and social relations stretching throughout history at the heart of the Arabian Gulf.
The documentary film "A Bronze Age Boat Sails Again" explores the ancient methods used by the region's inhabitants in building traditional boats, which are considered a symbol of maritime heritage.
