The Media Majlis Museum at Northwestern University in Qatar is the first museum in the Arab world dedicated to discussing and examining the content of journalism and communication.
The museum is open to all, is free of charge, and is bilingual.
The museum’s exhibitions explore media, journalism, art and communication—pasts, presents, and futures—through global, regional and local/Qatar lenses. Audiences are encouraged to explore alternative views, discover rich stories and hear from lesser-heard voices.
All exhibitions are accompanied by a series of public programs, an English and Arabic publication, and a selection of online videos published throughout the year on the Explore Content section of the website: mediamajlis.northwestern.edu
October 5, 2026–January 21, 2027
Sun–Thur, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
In partnership with ACMI, Australia's national museum of screen culture, our fall 2026 exhibition, created by internationally acclaimed London-based artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF), invites visitors to experience the hidden systems that connect all life. Moving between the microscopic and the cosmic, from the formation of a single cell to the birth of galaxies, the exhibition combines scientific research with immersive storytelling to reveal worlds that exist beyond the limits of human perception.
Through large-scale video works, guided meditation and interactive experience, we invite visitors into a deeply immersive encounter with the rhythms that cultivate and connect all life, asking where the human body ends and the world begins. The exhibition brings together artworks developed in collaboration with an extraordinary network of artists, filmmakers, musicians and scientists, including filmmaker Terrence Malick, the late producer Edward R. Pressman, Cate Blanchett, Daisy Lafarge, Jon Hopkins, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Meredith Monk, Howard Skempton and Jonny Greenwood.
Opening on October 5, 2026, All That Is Unseen marks MLF’s first exhibition to be presented in Qatar, and its first showing in the region. The exhibition premiered at ACMI in Melbourne before touring internationally, including presentations at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Its presentation in Doha marks the exhibition's debut in the Middle East. With an international pedigree, the exhibition has earned recognition for its capacity to connect audiences with the natural world through the power of screen culture and immersive art.
The exhibition has been thoughtfully reimagined for its presentation at the Media Majlis Museum, with its audience journey and context re-adapted, offering another dimension to their body of work. The partnership between Media Majlis Museum and ACMI reflects a shared commitment to bringing world-class cultural experiences to diverse audiences and the wider region.
A preview of All That Is Unseen will be held on October 4 from 4 p.m.–8 p.m. The exhibition is free to attend and will open to the public from October 5 at Northwestern Qatar’s campus in Education City, Doha. It will be open from 10 a.m.–8 p.m., Sunday to Thursday until January 21, 2027. Further details, including public programming will be announced ahead of the opening.
The museum is open to everyone. We are located within the Northwestern University in Qatar building in Doha's Education City, one building away from the Qatar National Library and Metro stop (Green Line).
