"True to the late Indian painter's unconventional spirit, it is designed as a dynamic live studio where students, researchers and community members can converge to explore and interact with the artist's multifaceted work. It also offers an opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue across the arts, history, spirituality and Husain's Arab and South Asian heritage. In doing so, the museum realises both the essence of the artist's creative philosophy and practice and the Foundation's own educational mission."
"Lawh Wa Qalam: M.F. Husain Museum presents a new model for museum practice in Qatar-one that merges cross-cultural literacy with interdisciplinary teaching and critical thinking. "We have the advantage of several universities being in close proximity, like VCUarts, Georgetown and Northwestern, in addition to Mathaf. There's a lot of collaboration that we can do with these universities and institutions," Al-Ali explains."
Lawh Wa Qalam: M.F. Husain Museum is a new cultural institution in Doha's Education City that functions as a modern hybrid learning space rather than a conventional art venue. The museum operates as a dynamic live studio where students, researchers and community members can converge to explore and interact with the artist's multifaceted work. The programme promotes interdisciplinary dialogue across the arts, history and spirituality linked to Husain's Arab and South Asian heritage. The museum includes a library with books on Indian modern art and Islamic philosophy and plans workshops, talks, film screenings and potential artist-in-residency programmes. Proximity to universities enables collaborative initiatives and aligns with educational goals.
