“We had the impression that it was not a good place and it is going to be reinstalled. We thought to do it in the 3-2-1 Museum” which opened at the end of March, said the president of Qatar’s museums, Cheikha Al Mayassa Al Thani, without giving any specific date.

The cultural calendar of the emirate includes, among others, an exhibition dedicated to football in the Sports Museum from October.
The Museum of Islamic Arts, renovated, should reopen its doors in October.
