The Bahrain National Museum witnessed the launch of the 14th edition of the Bahrain Summer Festival yesterday. The festival, at the Bahrain National Museum, the Art Centre and the Cultural Hall, will run until the end of this month.
“Activities are picking up in Bahrain despite the challenges, and this festival would act as a platform for spreading joy and bringing together all of Bahrain under one goal, which is culture,” said Shaikha Mai. The audience yesterday was treated to a performance by the creative Bahraini trio Mohammed Al-Najjar, Haya Al-Hamad and Lian Al-Hamad, who played international music pieces on their pianos. Today, “Brainiac Remixed”, a world-famous and most outrageous live science show, takes the stage at the Cultural Hall today.
