Katara Cultural Village:
An Inspired Vision
for Art and Culture
The Qatar Museums (QM) Gallery is a venue for public
art projects in Katara Cultural Village. Founded in 2010,
the gallery serves as a platform for Qatar’s emerging
museums to present their collections and projects. The
gallery also hosts exhibitions for local and international
artists. Its wide range of exhibitions—including
photography, archaeology, art, sports, architecture, and
sculpture—make the QM Gallery Katara a place to
encounter a broad local and international audience.
Keeping pace with the emerging global culture,
Katara Cultural Village is Qatar’s largest and most
multidimensional cultural project. It is a place where
people come together to experience the cultures of the
world. With beautiful theaters, concert halls, exhibition
galleries, and cutting-edge facilities, Katara aims to
become a world leader for multicultural activities.
In line with the goals set forward by the Qatar National
Vision 2030, Katara serves as a guardian to the heritage
and traditions of Qatar while spreading awareness about
the importance of every culture and civilization. As such,
Katara hosts many international, regional, and local
festivals, workshops, performances, and exhibitions.
