Preserving Palestinian History & Culture
Palestine Museum US was founded by Palestinian American businessman Faisal Saleh who, after over 40 years of entrepreneurial work, is turning his attention to managing the most ambitious Palestinian media project in the United States. Located in Woodbridge, Connecticut, USA

Museum aims to bring the work of 50 Palestinian women artists to one show

'good part of the work is that you can’t tell it’s Palestinian by looking at it – and that’s intentional,' says Palestinian-American entrepreneur Faisal Saleh

March is truly set to be a month of Sundays. Last Sunday marked the beginning of Women’s ­History Month and today is International Women’s Day. In honour of both, the Palestine Museum US in Woodbridge, Connecticut, will be encouraging visitors to immerse themselves in the artworks of 50 female Palestinian artists from around the world every Sunday until the end of May.

The exhibition Telling the Palestinian Story, which opens today, features more than 200 works of art, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, textiles and mixed media. The participating artists, many of whom will be exhibiting their work in the US for the first time, are from 14 countries on five continents, including the US and Canada, Palestine, Kenya, Chile, Germany and the UK....
