Salsali Private Museum

Salsali Private Museum (SPM) is the reflection of this passion in the most simple way. The simplicity of the concept of SPM will contribute to eliminate any possible intimidation and/or hesitation of any individuals not only to start to collect art, but also to showcase their collections.

We all have a responsibility and an inevitable duty to maintain and continue core values. Supporting art, does belong to these values and is an universal language for a peaceful communication among cultures. A museum of art is the responsive tool and a supportive platform in this context. It is a temple for tranquility, love and inspiration. Created in 2011 in Dubai, the Salsali Private Museum considers its position as a cultural base and platform for new and established collectors. SPM acts as a catalyst for creating a new generation of collectors.

SPM is not only the first private museum for the contemporary art in the region, but also the first collector center in the world to provide a free of charge service to the local and international collectors, allowing them to connect with each other and with artists, galleries and the creative community of the region. Salsali Private Museum is a contribution to the unique process of the development of the United Arab Emirates and Dubai as an evolving hub for the art and culture of the Middle East.

It is a true example for the social responsibility and commitment of all individuals and corporations to contribute to the development of creativity in their communities. The museum is equipped with a dedicated space where emerging, established and travelling collectors can showcase their works. The mezzanine office space has a transparency policy inherent within its design and ethos. Collectors are free to meet one another to discuss ideas within the museum as well as draw on their knowledge bank. Ramin's depth of experience and refreshing approach to the art collection process will be inspiring to both established and emerging collectors.

An art collection is an art in itself. A collection should reveal to its audience a story more significant than any individual viewpoint. This takes place in the collective voice of an exhibition where all the pieces exist in conversation with one another. The narrative tells us just as much about the collector as it does about the artwork itself. The Salsali Private Museum's humanistic ideals are reflected in Ramin's choice of art which parallels his personal understanding of the world.
