At Qatar Museums, we’re committed to supporting and developing world-class museums and cultural institutions that not only preserve our cultural heritage but also contribute to education, research, and entertainment.”

“This day serves as a reminder of our responsibility to promote and preserve our shared cultural heritage for generations to come. As we celebrate International Museum Day this year, we’d like to extend our warmest welcome to the public by offering free admission to our museums and exhibitions,” he added.
