    LONDON

    Barakat London’s new home at 48 Albemarle Street is a carefully curated treasure-trove of human civilisations from the dawn of time until the Twentieth Century AD. Situated in a modern, dynamic space, with a rotating exhibition, highlights of the outstanding Barakat collection are shown through an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colour, form and function. Our position in Albemarle Street, sandwiched between the Royal Academy of Arts and the Royal Institution, places us at the beating heart of London’s artistic and academic worlds, sharing pavement with a mixture of high-end boutiques and world-renowned academic institutions.

     

    Barakat London’s aim is to bring the depth, richness, and beauty of the Barakat Collection to new audiences, increasing global appreciation for antiquity and the arts, supporting scholarship, reinvigorating the care of our collections, and to provide a flagship hub for the arts in one of the world’s greatest cities. Through our own curation and research, and strategic partnerships with others, we hope to re-enliven the sector, and provide opportunities for critical cultural engagement.

     

    For five generations, the Barakat Gallery has been at the forefront of presenting the ancient world to audiences around the world. Through the strength of that history, and our openness to innovation, Barakat London is spearheading the strategic development of the collection for the generations to come.

      Closer

      London 10 February - 6 April 2019
      Today we are more connected than ever before but are we any closer? Despite (or perhaps because of) the dense networking of our society, many still feel lonely and isolated, and finding meaningful relationships in real life, not only online, is perhaps more of a challenge than in previous generations. Given this context, the exhibition aims to look beyond simply being in contact with others and ask what it can mean to be ‘close’ to someone else. Curated entirely from the extensive Barakat Collection the exhibition unites unique and extraordinary objects spread across 8,000 years of human history and celebrates the diverse ways humans come together; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Implicitly it allows a audience to consider what brings us together, more than what keeps us apart.
