Drawn entirely from the MIA collection and featuring many objects that had never been displayed in Qatar, the centerpiece is a group of 24 paintings showing Tipu’s victory at the Battle of Pollilur in 1780.
Tipu has been a controversial character for over two hundred years. Alongside this unique group is a selection of objects which reflect Tipu’s image as the ‘Tiger of Mysore.’
This exhibition examines the man through the material culture and imagery he patronised.
