ABOU KHALIL COLLECTION

The 3 Lebanese-born siblings will open the door of their Dubai home

The substantial collection amassed by the three siblings, whose Dubai home has a gallery-like feel, offers up surprises at every turn. Each of the siblings’ life experiences and personalities have trickled into their art collection, which they like to enjoy in rotation, even building more walls when there isn’t enough space. ​

From paintings to conceptual artworks and sculptures, the collection here is museum-worthy. In fact, several of the pieces have been loaned to international institutions

What has started as a Middle Eastern collection, quickly grew to a global one: many of the works by international artists speak of resistance and anti-colonialism, of destruction and reconstruction, but also of joy.
