Qatar Museums signed an MoU with the National Museum enhancing the two countries' cultural cooperation

A major step forward in cross-cultural cooperation has been taken by Qatar Museums with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Museum of China in the People's Republic of China. 

This agreement, which was signed by Gao Zheng, the director of the National Museum of China, and Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Thani, the director of the National Museum of Qatar, highlights the dedication of both organisations to expanding their exchange and collaboration in the field of museums, fostering cross-cultural understanding and fortifying their relationships. The Memorandum of Understanding is a legacy of the 2016 Qatar-China Year of Culture and is conducted under the auspices of the Qatar-China Friendship Association, which enhances the two countries' cultural cooperation.

A framework for cooperation in several important areas is established by this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Qatar Museums and the National Museum of China. These include the sharing of museum experiences, collaborative exhibitions, scholarly research, and creative educational initiatives aimed at boosting visitor engagement and cultural awareness.

Through cooperative efforts in archaeology, heritage preservation, and museology—with an emphasis on international best practices in the preservation and recording of collections—the agreement will foster cross-cultural understanding. It also describes plans for collaborative work in excavation, restoration, and conservation to protect significant historical sites, as well as collaboration exhibits and touring showcases to expand the reach of both institutions' rich histories and holdings.

This collaboration will help scholars, professionals, and museum visitors alike by bringing about enriching cultural interactions and improving the museum experiences provided in both countries.
