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 program 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.
