Qatar Museum organizes yearly a Year of Culture. The initiative was launched in 2012 under the direction of Sheikh Al Mayassa bint hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and unites the major and most significant galleries and exhibition spaces in Qatar and seeks to present international art and artists in Qatar during cultural years, as well as to link them locally and regionally.

In 2017 Germany was invited as a host country for the cultural year. Through a variety of exhibitions, festivals, events and programs, the German Season promoted mutual understanding and respect between the countries from January to May and from September to December and invited them to discover the similarities and differences of the respective cultures. The main objective was to exchange ideas in the fields of art, culture and sports. Especially in the field of sports, the German Football Ambassador is proud to have contributed a share to the Year of Culture. Together with the Qatar Women Sports Committee, the German Embassy, the Goethe Institute and Qatar Museums, we have organized a friendly match between a German and a Qatari women’s football team.
