MF Husain was forced into exile; now his work finds permanent home in Qatar
AI Summary
In December 2025, Qatar inaugurated the Lawh Wa Qalam museum in Doha, dedicated to the life and work of celebrated Indian artist MF Husain. Husain, often called "India's Picasso," was forced into exile due to a hate campaign by Hindu nationalists beginning in the 1990s. Qatar had offered him citizenship in 2010. The museum, whose name means "the board and the pen," features Husain's final works commissioned by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, along with his other art, films, photography, and poetry. The museum aims to provide a permanent home for his iconic works, transcending borders and connecting cultures.
