Catch an icon in Qatar

We couldn’t wait to spread the news that the largest collection of work by iconic British artist Damien Hirst ever assembled is coming to the Middle East. Relics will showcase instantly recognisable pieces like the Spot Paintings, and the reportedly £50-million (Dh279-million) diamond skull from October 10 until January 22 next year, at Al Riwaq Doha exhibition space. Also, make time to plan a cultural tour of Qatar while yyou’re there. See www.qataruk2013.com.
