As a result of oil exports and later, the development of liquified natural gas (LNG) production, Qatar experienced unprecedented development between the 1970s and the 2000s. The central exhibit in the next space is a beautiful model of the city of Doha, showing its expansion across this 40 year period following the investment in urban planning and infrastructure under the reigns of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al Thani and the Father Emir, His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. In this space you can explore the different masterplans and significant buildings of Doha on the screens that surround the display, while projections dynamically map the city’s development. An interactive digital archive wall allows you to access hundreds of images and related archival documents that show the city’s transformation, and present thematic visual explorations of, for example, education and the development of a sophisticated healthcare system. The gallery then looks at the investment in LNG by HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the success of which resulted in Qatar’s more recent development. A film on HH Sheikh Hamad highlights his achievements, while a video installation by John Sanborn explores the LNG phenomenon.
