Doha: Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum (FBQ Museum) hosted a cultural visit from the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC)’s Jeeran Youth Panel, a group of 30 community ambassadors of 17 nationalities who are engaging with topics related to the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar.
The visit kicked off with an introductory tour of the Museum’s collections followed by a treasure hunt through the Museum. One of Qatar’s most viewed YouTube channels, the ‘Klmat Ras’ crew, then led an inspirational session introducing script writing skills to the young participants and brainstorming ideas on how to link Sports with Art.
The Panel was inspired to think outside the box, and consider how they could raise Qatar’s profile as a lively cultural destination encouraging intercultural understanding.
“It was very involving and the most awesome workshop I have been to”, said Meeher Kapoor, Youth Panel Member.
The unique ambience of the FBQ Museum provided the perfect backdrop to the day’s activities as an inspiring cultural venue that combines culture, heritage and sports.
FBQ Museum is a non-profit private museum foundation, created by its patron Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani, to house and manage his private art collection that has been donated accordingly. At its Shahaniya location open to the public since 1998, the FBQ Museum houses a generic and eclectic collection of antiquities, textiles and costumes, fine arts, ceramics, wood and metal crafts, manuscripts and calligraphy artwork as well as rare coins, jewelry, a natural history and geological collection, vintage cars and armoury.
