The gallery also highlights the relationship between the people of Qatar and their role as guardians of the land and sea—a role more vital today than ever before.The gallery features a striking artfilm directed by Jacques Perrin and Christophe Cheysson, which captures the diversity of Qatar’s environments, presented in counterpoint to a kaleidoscope of smaller screens focusing on individual species.
Against the backdrop of the film, beautiful models of Qatar’s land and sea creatures
are displayed for you to explore the interconnection between different species and environments, and understand the fragility of Qatar’s ecosystems. The gallery includes an impressive life-size model of a whale shark, suspended from the ceiling, and a Family Exhibit full of interactive displays for children to engage with the gallery themes.
