As sponsor, ExxonMobil Qatar will work closely with Qatar Museums and both Ministries to deliver an exciting and rewarding programme that helps to build long-term relationships between institutions and individuals in both countries.

This year’s programme includes artists’ competitions and residencies, educational exchanges, and world-class Qatari exhibitions in Turkey. These activities bring together Qatari and Turkish individuals and institutions to foster mutual understanding and ensure the robust development of culture, art and heritage in local communities.

Mansoor Al Mahmoud, Acting CEO at Qatar Museums said, “The backing of these major organisations will go a long way towards ensuring that 2015’s Year of Culture is a huge success.
