The Dubai Mall is celebrating Dubai’s art season and the Spring/Summer fashion season with

From March 12–April 30, nearly 40 of the world’s most important Western and Chinese contemporary artworks from M WOODS’ permanent collection will be on view for the first time in the Middle East in seven specially created museum-like pavilions throughout Fashion Avenue. The exhibition is presented in partnership with Dubai Tourism and Emirates NBD.
