The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities launches the third “Made in Bahrain” shop at Souq Al Baraha in Diyar Al Muharraq, coinciding with the National Day of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The “Made in Bahrain” brand reconstructs the visual and functional identity of handicrafts and traditional industries as they are a cultural expression withstanding the test of time, one that is reflective of national identity.

Traditional handicrafts are one of the most important elements of the intangible heritage, an exceptional material investment considering that each reproduction is unique depending on social, geographical, environmental eco-systematic factors. Cultural institutions are moving towards sustaining handicrafts, protecting them from extinction and preserving these crafts as core elements of national heritage.
