In the house where he grew up, Rashid Al Khalifa has brought together several hundred works by artists from all over the world, maintaining a fruitful dialogue across borders and cultures. The ‘classics’ of contemporary art - Yves Klein, Soulages, Bottero, Buffet, César with a crystal version of his famous Thumb - rub shoulders with emerging artists. The guided tour is fascinating. The property itself is well worth a visit. Not to mention a huge gallery based on the ‘white cube’ concept devised by Yves Klein: an entirely white cubic space.
