Qatar Museums (QM) has announced that its “popular and much-loved” Treasure Hunt is back in time for Qatar National Day, following the success of the Eid al-Adha event.
On December 17, adults, children and families across Qatar can take part and compete in the fun-filled adventure between 12noon and 3pm.
The initiative will see visitors taken on a journey through both the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) and QM Gallery Al Riwaq, explore the collection of Islamic art, discover artworks by internationally-acclaimed Iraqi artist Dia al-Azzawi and take part in a series of challenges. Prizes will be given out to winners at the end of the event.
In addition to the Treasure Hunt, a number of activities will be organised throughout the day at MIA Park, including storytelling, an archaeology workshop, face-painting and a bazaar, for families and children of all ages to enjoy, Qatar Museums has said in a press statement.
Khalid Yousef al-Ibrahim, chief strategic planning officer at Qatar Museums, said: “Our last Treasure Hunt event was great fun and we received very positive feedback from the local community. We look forward to the second Treasure Hunt of the year on the National Day weekend, which we hope will stimulate creativity among the community and create lasting memories for all the participants.”
Spaces for the event are limited and fill up fast, Qatar Museums has said.
Tickets cost QR50 per group (of up to five people) and can be purchased at any of the following outlets: Museum of Islamic Art Gift Shop, QM Gallery Katara, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art Gift Shop, or In-Q at The Gate Mall.
The event forms part of Qatar Museums’ and MIA’s continued efforts to provide “dynamic educational activities that appeal to diverse groups, broaden horizons and stimulate creativity within the community”.
