About Cultural Link Príomh-fheidhm Chomhoibritheach

Is àite-obrach cothrom-obrach a th' ann an Cultural Link a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson ailtirean agus dealbhadairean taobh a-staigh ann am Manama, Bahrain. Tha an ionad 888 meatair ceàrnagach a' ceangal prionnsapalan dealbhaidh traidiseanta Bahrain le àirneis agus obraichean ealain co-aimsireil. Tha togalaichean fa leth a' comharrachadh oifisean prìobhaideach, raointean co-obrachaidh, taigh-cofaidh agus leabharlann stuthan. Tha uinneagan mòra a' ceangal nan raointean co-roinnte, agus tha stuthan a bhios a' sùghadh fuaim a' cur taic ri obair shàmhach. Thathar a' cleachdadh stuthan ionadail leithid clach-aoil, criadh agus fiodh pailme, a' toirt urram do cheàirdeachd na sgìre agus a' toirt taic do sheasmhachd.
