QNADohaQatar Museums (QM) and ExxonMobil have signed a sponsorship agreement for Dadu, Qatar’s Children’s Museum. QM Chairperson HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and ExxonMobil Qatar’s President and General Manager Dominic Genetti made the announcement early this week.HE Sheikha Al Mayassa said: “Qatar Museums is proud to welcome ExxonMobil Qatar on board as one of the founding family members of Dadu, Childrens Museum of Qatar. As the exclusive sponsor of Dadu’s Sustainability and Valuing the Environment Gallery, ExxonMobil Qatar is supporting Qatar Museums’ ethos of sustainability and environmental awareness. Once opened, the gallery will educate children and families about Qatar’s natural habitat and how we can all do our part to preserve the environment.”Genetti meanwhile said that “ExxonMobil Qatar is excited to enter into a new partnership with Qatar Museums and to become a member of the Childrens Museums Founding Family.”“The Childrens Museum of Qatar will provide endless opportunities for learning and creative discovery, and were proud to be a part of such a significant national project. Were also delighted to sponsor a space at the museum that will stir love and curiosity for nature and help children become aware of the environment and motivated to take action to preserve it. We hope it will be very busy and wish it every success in the future,” he added.Under this partnership, ExxonMobil Qatar will become the sole sponsor of the museum’s Sustainability and Valuing the Environment Gallery, a space dedicated to the natural environment and biodiversity. The gallery’s goals are consistent with ExxonMobil Qatar’s values of protecting Qatar’s natural environment and marine life, including its iconic dugong population, and raising awareness among students and the general public about the importance of sustainability for our planet’s future.Furthermore, the gallery aligns with ExxonMobil Qatar’s commitment to educational development, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects, in order to advance the goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and its human development pillar.Qatar Museums and ExxonMobil Qatar share a vision of preserving Qatari culture and heritage, as evidenced by their collaborations. ExxonMobil Research Qatar (EMRQ) and Qatar Museums collaborated in June to bring the highly successful Seagrass Tales, Dugong Trails exhibition to the National Museum of Qatar, which highlighted the cultural and environmental significance of dugongs (NMOQ).ExxonMobil is also a platinum sponsor of Qatar-US Year of Culture 2021, an initiative of Qatar Museums.
