Commissioned by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, we designed and installed the first temporary exhibition to be hosted by the Etihad Museum since it opened its doors to the public. Entitled ‘Emirates to the World: Postal History from 1909 to Unification’, the exhibition celebrates the stories of the postal services in the Emirates from their earliest days through to the UAE unification in 1971, which is showcased through stamps, letters, artworks and archives found in the extraordinary private collection of Abdulla Khoory, President of Emirates Philatelic Association.
The collection is magically brought to life through augmented objects and images supplied by Emirates Post and a number of other historical archives. The exhibition is accompanied by workshops for adults and children who are interested in postal history, letter writing, and the popular subject of philately.
