Description
Part of Assouline’s Classics Collection of highly collectible and immaculately illustrated volumes representing movements in style and chronicling chic. Each book is an inspiring journey to aesthetic bliss, a unique world all its own.
Widely celebrated as the Cultural Capital of the United Arab Emirates, Sharjah is a creative and vibrant hub at the heart of the Middle East. Renowned for its deep-rooted commitment to the arts, education, and heritage preservation, the emirate stands as a beacon of cultural excellence in the region.
From the architectural marvel of the House of Wisdom, designed by Foster + Partners, to the restored coral-walled galleries of the Sharjah Art Foundation Art Spaces, the city reflects both a profound respect for tradition and a bold vision for progress. Home to the Sharjah International Book Fair, one of the world’s largest literary events, Sharjah also boasts more than museums that celebrate its rich and diverse history. Among them is the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, which houses over 5,000 artifacts and rare manuscripts, offering a deep insight into Islamic art, science, and culture.
Sharjah: The Capital of Culture offers a compelling portrait of Sharjah’s dedication to cultural enrichment, historical preservation, and creative expression—an homage to an emirate where the past and future coexist in perfect harmony.
