A bold blue museum inspired by a sketch drawn by M.F. Husain in 2008 has opened in Doha, showcasing six decades of his work and inviting visitors into the mind of one of India’s most iconic artists.
If you’ve ever wondered what it might feel like to step inside an artist’s imagination, Doha’s newest cultural landmark gets you pretty close. The story of Lawh Wa Qalam: M.F. Husain Museum begins, quite literally, with a sketch. The project not only honours Husain’s legacy but also aims to build cultural bridges between South Asia and West Asia.
