I was happy with that, but even then, despite the splendours of the al-Sabah collection that have travelled to so many museums (the Louvre, The Met, the British Museum, the Prado and many others), IMD seemed to end up a very local affair, because while we put on a great show, with a great childrens’ programme as well as other artistic and ecological functions, nobody came to us from around the world. |
