A Falcon’s Eye: Tribute to Sheikh Saoud Al Thani - Hardback
A Falcon’s Eye, published to accompany the exhibition at the Museum of Islamic Art, celebrates the late Sheikh Saoud Al Thani, a passionate conservationist and collector who made an invaluable contribution to building Qatar Museums’ collections. The book showcases 100 of the most important pieces he acquired, including beautiful first edition manuscripts, rare fossils, artefacts from ancient Egypt, exquisite jewellery and vintage cameras. Also featured are personal tributes from family, friends and colleagues, who recall Sheikh Saoud’s many achievements, including his commitment to preserving endangered species. These memories are accompanied by moving portraits from leading contemporary photographers, which capture the spirit of this modern Renaissance man of the Arab world.
