These include old manuscripts, official documents, rare coins, as well as traditional tools. Each piece reflects the rich legacy of Bahraini heritage and the historical role of the Al-Hasan family.
The collection dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It originates from Tawash Hassan bin Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Hasan, the family’s first known ancestor. He played a key role in the pearl trade in Muharraq, one of Bahrain’s oldest cities.
Importantly, this exhibition was made possible through close collaboration. The Al-Hasan family donated the entire collection to the museum. This step shows their commitment to preserving Bahrain’s cultural identity and passing it to future generations.
Moreover, the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities praised this act of cultural generosity. Officials emphasized that preserving history is a shared national duty. This partnership between BACA and the Al-Hasan family stands as a model for community cooperation.
