Art from Within
QM is committed to advancing Qatar’s future generation
of arts, heritage, and museum professionals. At its core
lies a commitment to nurturing artistic talent, creating
opportunities, and developing the skills to contribute to
Qatar’s emerging art economy.
Through a multifaceted programme and public
art initiatives, QM seeks to push the boundaries of
the traditional museum model—creating cultural
experiences that spill out onto the streets and involve the
widest possible audiences. Through a strong emphasis on
originating art and culture from within and fostering a
spirit of national participation, QM is helping Qatar find
its own distinctive voice in today’s global cultural debates.
