FBQ Educational Programs represent a valuable resource for families, schools, universities, and visitors choosing Qatar as a tourist destination.
- School Programs:
FBQ School Programs provide Museum tours and workshops, both in-person and virtual, designed for primary and secondary school groups. Inspired by FBQ collections, our programs introduce tools to foster visual literacy in students and to promote critical thinking about the world around us.
FBQ's leading program Behind an Object, There is a Story is tailored for kids from 7 to 12 and young participants from 13 to17 keen to venture on a journey of discovery of local culture and Qatari heritage and Islamic art.
