[edit]
Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art interior in 2011

Mathaf(متحف inArabic) translates to "museum".[5]The initial collection was gathered by SheikhHassan bin Mohammed Al Thani,andQMAprovided the conditions of conservation as a public institution chaired by SheikhaAl-Mayassa Al Thani.[6]Sheikh Hassan started building a collection in the early 1990s of art created by artists from theArab worldover the last 200 years with the aim of creating a museum that could capture and represent artists from this region. From the 1990s and early 2000s, the collection was housed in two private villas in Madinat Khalifa in Doha while Sheikh Hassan and early advisors and staff conceived of an idea of what an Arab perspective on modern and contemporary art and museums could be.[1]

In 2010, the museum opened its doors in theQatar Foundation's Education Cityin theDoha Metropolitan Areain a former school building transformed by the French architect Jean-François Bodin.[7]At the time, it was the first museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art in the country.[8]Artist and former staff memberSophia Al-Mariarecounts the early intentions of Sheikh Hassan and the founding team as shaping the institution to be a "twenty-first century 'post-museum'...a fledgling term for transparent, interaction-oriented museum models."[9]The inaugural exhibitions included "Sajjil: A Century of Modern Art," featuring 240 artworks by more than 100 artists curated byNada Shabout,Wassan Al-Khudhairi,andDeena Chalabi;"Interventions: A Dialogue Between the Modern and the Contemporary," curated by Nada Shabout; and "Told / Untold / Retold," curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath and featuring newly commissioned works by 23 contemporary artists.[10]

In 2013, Mathaf launched the Encyclopedia of Modern Art and the Arab World, a resource offering detailed biographies that have been researched by scholars and independent historians as well as essays, videos, and interviews.[11]

In March 2020, the museum closed to the public because of theCOVID-19 pandemic,with parts of the collections still being accessible online through a partnership with theGoogle Arts & Cultureplatform.[12][13]The museum reopened in August 2020 with three new exhibitions "Lived Forward: Art and Culture in Doha from 1960-2020",[14]"Huguette Caland:Faces and Places ", curated by Mohammed Rashid Al Thani[15]and "Yto Barrada:My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nougat ", curated by Laura Barlow.[16][17][18]

Moroccan curatorAbdellah Karroumwas appointed director of Mathaf in June 2013, where he served until May 2021.[20]In November 2021, Qatar Museums appointedZeina Arida,the previous director of theSursock Museumin Beireut,[21]as the new director of Mathaf, replacing Abdellah Karroum who was reassigned as curatorial advisor to the director of the National Museum of Qatar Sheikha Amna Al Thani.[22][23][24]
