Qatar Museums has announced the concluding phase of its diverse exhibition programme, set to run through February as part of the Qatar Creates Fall–Winter 2025 season.

The final series of showcases brings together influential figures in art, architecture, and environmental research. Collectively, the exhibitions highlight themes of cultural heritage, creative expression, environmental stewardship, and architectural innovation reinforcing Qatar Museums’ role as a leading cultural institution and a dynamic hub for knowledge exchange.

One of the season’s major highlights is A Nation's Legacy, A People's Memory: Fifty Years Told, on display at the National Museum of Qatar until February 7. The exhibition commemorates the museum’s 50-year journey, tracing its transformation from its establishment in 1975 at the Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani Palace to its reopening in 2019 in the iconic Jean Nouvel–designed building inspired by the desert rose.

Spanning five decades, the exhibition reflects on the museum’s pivotal role in preserving Qatar’s national identity, advancing cultural dialogue, and contributing to international exchange. Visitors are introduced to innovative storytelling methods and reimagined elements of the original museum, including a contemporary interpretation of the historic Earth Dome. Rare archival photographs, documents, and early materials also offer a detailed look into the institution’s evolution.

Running in parallel, the immersive exhibition Lehmesa: Return by Moonlight delves into the life cycle of the sea turtle locally known as "Lehmesa," with a particular focus on the endangered Hawksbill turtle, which returns annually to Qatar’s shores for nesting.

The exhibition sheds light on key environmental concerns such as habitat degradation, pollution, and the effects of climate change while highlighting the delicate ecosystems that exist along Qatar’s coastline. Through its narrative, Lehmesa: Return by Moonlight emphasizes the nation’s ongoing efforts to protect marine life and safeguard its natural environment for generations to come.
