Playing along the riverbed. In architect Jean Nouvel’s design, the history of Qatar flows through the museum like a river. Families can step out of the current at six spots. An immersive museum walk. The National Museum of Qatar presents the history of the country, its nature and its people in an immersive 1.5-kilometre museum walk. At the edges of the main storyline, there are spaces for families with children between the ages of five and 15 to rest and play. Here, they can discover Qatar’s history in interactive, tactile, immersive ways.
Each exhibit has its own storyline and style. Families can learn together through play and cooperation. We designed different types of installations to appeal to every member of the family. Tactile games invite younger children to make discoveries. Older children can enjoy games with more complex narratives.
On the Move. Many people assume nomads live simply. Like all societies, however, they change with the times. ‘On the Move’ shows these cultures’ adaptability, complexity and beauty and the meaningful social relationships between people.
Exquisite objects and oral history films reveal the rich social, cultural and spiritual lives of the nomads. Above all, the exhibition shows how they have responded to political, economic, climatic and cultural change. In spite of their great adaptability, the nomads keep traditions alive. In this, they can serve as inspiration for the world.
