Doha, Qatar: Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) announced a collaboration with the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) to launch Qatar’s inaugural museum escape room.

This innovative project represents a unique fusion of art, history, and interactive entertainment, offering visitors an immersive journey through the rich tapestry of Islamic scholarship.

Escape rooms are renowned for their interactive nature and challenge participants to solve puzzles and decipher clues within a set timeframe to ‘escape’. By integrating this concept into a museum setting, MIA and VCUarts Qatar aim to provide visitors with a dynamic and captivating experience centered around Islamic art and history.

The escape room’s concept revolves around the “Scholars of the Islamic World,” featuring themed chambers dedicated to Calligraphy, Islamic Science and Inventions, Astronomy, and the conservation of Islamic art objects.
