QM Hosts Engaging Educational Experiences for All Ages this September

Qatar Museums (QM) will continue its vibrant public programme this September by introducing several new activities at the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Liwan Design Studios and Labs, and M7.

The National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) has an exciting line-up of activities planned for September, including themed tours of the museum and storytelling sessions, including: Storytime: Angry Majid, Family’s Exploration Journey, Memory Box and Discovery Programs: Track and Trace.

The Museum of Islamic Art is also hosting a range of free workshops this September, including art workshops, story-telling sessions, and a themed family day.

Meanwhile, Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum will run a workshop on providing nutritious lunches for children, a sports club, writing workshop, and teacher training sessions.

Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art will host a shadowing programme for Grade 10 school pupils, and will continue to host guided tours and art workshops this September.

Liwan Design Studio and Lab will host a printmaking workshop, which looks at Liwan’s unique building and its history. This workshop focuses on Liwan’s building built in the 1950’s that housed Qatar’s first all-girls school, Banat Al-Doha, later renamed Umm Almo’mneen. The workshop will take a deeper look at the various architectural elements that make this building uniquely mid-century modern. Participants will analyse the school building through observation and documentation, contextualise their own childhood memories, and be introduced to printmaking through block printing.

M7, Qatar’s epicentre for innovation and entrepreneurship in fashion and design will deliver a vibrant schedule of public programmes to engage the general public across the duration of the Masterpieces of Furniture Design exhibition.
