The refurbishment of the Bahrain National Museum Hall of Dilmun Graves has finally come to a completion thanks to the generous support of the private sector. After almost 5 years of work, the fully remodelled hall opened to the public on 26 June 2018. The new display was designed to keep up with the latest developments in the museum field and to provide a new enhanced and engaging museum experience while respecting the Bahrain National Museum mission statement.
Designed by French architect Didier Blin, the new Hall of Dilmun Graves preserved the original reconstitution of the Dilmun Burial Mounds that were the focus of the first exhibition, while enhancing the presentation and interpretation of the collection and introducing new multimedia installations. In addition to displaying the latest results of excavations, the new exhibition has been curated to engage a wider audience and to create a clear itinerary that focuses on the burial traditions from the Dilmun period and that allows the visitor to understand the historic value and uniqueness of the iconic Burial Mounds of Bahrain - currently listed on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage list.
