Note publique d'information : Heritage projects in the Arabian Peninsula are developing rapidly. Museums and heritage
sites are symbols of shifting national identities, and a way of placing the Arabian
Peninsula states on the international map. Global, i.e. Western, heritage standards
and practices have been utilised for the rapid injection of heritage expertise in
museum development and site management and for international recognition. The use
of Western heritage models in the Arabian Peninsula inspires two key areas for research
which this book examines: the obscuring of indigenous concepts and practices of heritage
and expressions of cultural identity; and the tensions between local/community concepts
of heritage and identity and the new national identities being constructed through
museums and heritage sites at a state level.
