along with hundreds of carpets, cars and coins! The Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum (FBQMuseum) is a non-profit private museum foundation of public interest, it has been created on the initiative of its patron HE Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani, to house and manage his private collection, donated to the non-profit foundation, now responsible for its management and enhancement. The colle

ction was developed throughout decades of dedicated and enthusiastic collecting of a diverse and eclectic body of works, spanning several areas of interest of great museological value and public appeal. FBQMuseum Houses a generic and eclectic collection at its Samariyya location, at a culture estate open to public since 1998. A branch of FBQMuseums, the Carpet Museum holds a vast collection at its Marriot Marquis City Centre Doha location, open to public since 2014. Both museum sites are oriented towards developing educational public programs designed to enhance knowledge and sharing the wonders of the vast collections with our local community, regional and international visitors. FBQMuseum is a people oriented institution, and we deliver its programs following an object-based teaching and learning philosophy. In 2010, the museum was selected by the Ministry of Art, Culture and Heritage as one of Qatar's cultural landmarks as part of the 'Qatar Capital of Culture' activities. The museum's affiliations span an array of international institutions and we have been dedicated to delivering entertainment based, engaging displays of the marvels collected by an extraordinary man.

Some pieces carry centuries of history. 🕌

From a 400-year-old bag made for the keys of the Kaaba and sections of the Kaaba’s Kiswah, to Qurans collected from across the Islamic world, H.E. Faisal Bin Qassim Al-Thani takes us through some of the remarkable Islamic artifacts preserved at FBQ Museum.

🦪 Before oil, pearls powered the Gulf.

For centuries, pearling was more than a trade — it was a way of life for coastal communities across Qatar and the Gulf. Divers would head into the sea with minimal equipment, holding their breath as they searched the seabed for pearls.

The discovery of oil transformed the region’s economy and brought the centuries-old pearling industry to an end. Today, its legacy remains an important part of Qatar’s cultural heritage.
