History
At the beginning of the last century, Muharraq was the capital of Bahrain and the center of major public and governmental projects for better administration, planning and education.
The official and general public shared a vision for progress and development. The history of this island as detailed in preserved documents tells us about the leaders and unique individuals who were behind these projects. One of these outstanding personalities was Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, a leader in the fields of education, culture and the social sciences. From his majlis in Muharraq, he corresponded with leading figures all over the world in search of knowledge and enlightenment and weekly debates were held at his majlis on matters of culture, philosophy and the arts.
For the sake of the memory of this great man, the Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Center for Culture and Research was established as a forum for dialogue between people in philosophy, literature, poetry, culture and the arts.
Since the opening in 2002, the Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Center for Culture and Research has hosted over 500 speakers, philosophers, poets and thinkers, who have presented their thoughts in the center’s weekly lecture program.
