Venue: Museum of Islamic Art Park

Bring your family and friends and join us this Thursday at the Museum of Islamic Art Park to experience demonstrations of falcons and salukis. The event is presented in collaboration with Al Gannas and The Museum of Islamic Art and will feature these exquisite animals in action and learn about their use in hunting, their care and their continuing importance in the life of modern Qatar.

Al Gannas is the Qatari cultural association dedicated to promoting traditional Arabic hunting, representing Arab hungers in the international and regional contests, organising events and encouraging research and studies in the field.

This event comes as part of The Hunt: Princely Pursuits in Islamic Lands exhibition which iscurrently on show at the Museum of Islamic Art and is running until the 9^th January 2016. Visit the exhibition to marvel at the lifestyle, power and bravery of royal hunters as this exhibition draws on highlights from the collections of Qatari and Turkish museums to explore and celebrate the sport of hunting, as well as the related activities of polo, feasting and fighting, all of which feature richly in Islamic art.
