Qatar is home to many fascinating museums and heritage sites. Among these cultural treasures are the Muslim Islamic Art, the new National Museum of Qatar, and Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art, all of which are included under the Qatar Museums (QM) umbrella. QM is an organisation of group of museums, iconic buildings and artistic sites that aims to develop, promote, and sustain the cultural sector of Qatar. It aims to develop interest in these magnificent works of art, and has developed a programme this summer to attract both locals and tourist to these sites. The programme is all part of Qatar National Tourism Council’s (QNTC) theme for this year, Summer in Qatar that kicked off last June 4 and will continue until Aug 13. It’s a wide range selection of thrilling indoor and outdoor experiences, discounts, special promotions along with entertainment programmes for families and kids to enjoy the summer break.
The sun is up, and there’s a great way to enjoy the weather - by exploring Qatar's finest museums, as well as art exhibits, tours and classes. With QM’s incredible membership cards, you can save money and discover everything you love.
To give those in Qatar the best possible experience of the country’s art, heritage and culture, QM introduced the Culture Pass programme last March 18 just this year. It has three different tiers to choose from: CP Basic, CP Plus and CP Family membership cards. Each card has amazing deals and privileges, including free entrance to all of Qatar Museums’ heritage sites depending on the card.
This membership card gives you access to Qatar Museums heritage and cultural sites. Members get a 10% discount on selected gift shops inside the Muslim Islamic Art (MIA), National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art, Cass Art Qatar gift shops and In-Q online shop. One free art tour and one free exclusive workshop per year awaits the cardholders too.
More discounts apply to the following café and restaurants:
CP Pass Basic cardholders will also receive monthly newsletters to stay up to date on Qatar Museums and partners’ events and offerings.
If you’re looking for that added benefit and bigger discounts, then the CP Pass Plus upgrade is the perfect membership for you. Admission to all QM museums and galleries is free. Discounts in QM cafés, restaurants and gift shops are higher compared to CP Basic. Check out these new discounts:
CP Plus cardholders are invited to exclusive VIP events by QM partners, and receive a monthly newsletter with invitations to all CP tours, workshops and master classes, with the ability to attend an unlimited number of events. Here are just some of the universities in Qatar that offer advanced degree programmes for the cultural leaders tomorrow.
