Collecting practices of the Al-Thani Family

The House of Thani is the ruling family of Qatar. Since the early 2000s, the family has led the development of the country’s cultural and artistic institutions. Their initiatives, including the establishment of new museums and universities, coincide with Qatar National Vision 2030, a government plan that aims to transition the country towards a "knowledge-based economy" in Qatar by 2030.

Qatar’s cultural policy, shaped under the Al Thani family, has focused on establishing museums, art collections, and educational programs designed to support the country’s transition toward a knowledge-based economy. This approach differs from the international franchise model used in neighboring Abu Dhabi, where branches of major Western museums have been established.
