Tuesday, 14 October, 2025
The Middle East has become one of the most ambitious regions in the world when it comes to investing in culture, mirroring its rapid expansion into sports, entertainment, and fashion.

They discuss how governments and institutions are driving cultural investment, the evolving collector base in the Middle East, and what success might look like for these new fairs in their first years.
