The MENAM Focus was put together by Omar Kholeif, curator at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, to bring imagery, thinking and
an evolving cultural legacy not often seen in Western art venues.
In addition to the building's storied
legacy, the museum has continued to
evolve its role in Boston's artistic and
cultural future most recently by adding a new wing to the historic palace in order to relieve pressure on the historic spaces and spread out the collection.
