Designed to foster academic growth and creative exploration, the programme invites students to use museum spaces and resources for writing, research assignments, and artistic projects.
Whether developing a research paper, creating a visual piece, or composing a written reflection, students will engage deeply with the museum’s themes, exhibitions, and collections. This enriching experience allows participants to draw direct inspiration from Qatar’s heritage while working in a peaceful, dedicated study space within the museum.
Participants will also have the opportunity to interact with museum staff for guidance, feedback, and support throughout their residency.
