Alan Villiers & the Sons of Sindbad An Australian in 1930s Kuwait
In the late 1930s, Australian-born Alan Villiers travelled to Arabia to document what he believed were the last days of merchant sailing ships. In December last year the museum made its first foray into the Middle East with the installation of an exhibition of Villiers’ photographs from his travels with Arab sailors.
