Doha: Qatar Museums has expanded its online collection platform by 60 percent since its launch in April 2025, increasing the number of objects featured from approximately 1,000 to more than 1,600.

The platform has introduced a range of new digital features, including artist-created animations, games and quizzes, personalized collections, an interactive timeline, and AI-powered recommendations. Available in both English and Arabic, the Online Collection gives audiences in Qatar and around the world digital access to artworks and cultural objects from the National Museum of Qatar, Museum of Islamic Art, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, and other Qatar Museums collections.

New features allow visitors to create personal accounts, save favorite objects, and organize them into custom collections. An interactive timeline enables users to explore objects chronologically from 300,000 BCE to the present, with filters for museum, material, and other collection details. Each object page provides details including title, place of production, date, period, material, technique, dimensions, and holding museum.

The platform also features AI-powered visual matching to identify visually similar objects, games and quizzes for interactive learning, and artist-created animated videos by Andrey Zakirzyanov, known for hand-crafted animations that bring iconic paintings to life. The latest enhancements were developed with support from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and digital experience company Applab as development partner.
