Musalsalat
must look and feel authentic, appealing broadly across the Arabic speaking world. How is location a central element of building authenticity in musalsalat, and how does it differ from other global dramas?

This and other animation included in the exhibition The World is Watching Musalsalat (spring 2023) were commissioned by the museum to introduce different issues discussed in the exhibition. The museum worked with animation company Cognitive to create short and informative explanations from which further exploration of the accompanying displayed musalsalat and other television series, historical material and interviews could flow.
