Project Brief:
NMoQ’s Energy Playground, one of three spread across the museum’s gardens, will provide a unique experience for families to learn more about energy and the history of Qatar’s oil exploration.
The playground will be designed for families to engage in intergenerational kinetic play activities; from the extraction of crude oil and natural gas, to their processing and even the by-products that in turn, benefit today’s societies. The playground will be entered from various pathways – enabling a “choose your own adventure” industrialized experience and will ultimately expose visitors to the future of renewable and non-renewable energy.

The narrative of energy industries like oil is an ongoing theme explored across galleries at NMOQ, which highlights topics such as the discovery of oil, negotiations, and correspondence, the rapid modernization the country witnessed due to the oil industry, as well as the impact it has had on socio-cultural development.
NMoQ’s immersive playgrounds promote intergenerational play activities while also encouraging visitors to explore the museum’s vast collection and permanent galleries as well as Qatar’s natural and cultural offerings.

Scope Of Work:
Design and built the energy playground.
