11. Patrimonio Culturale e Nazionalismo
“There is no such thing as Heritage.” (Smith, Uses of Heritage, 2006)

12. Narrare la nazione
“National Museums in the Arabian Peninsula do not acknowledge difference, but exclude narratives and identities that do not fit within the narrow parameters of Arab purity and Sunni Islam as represented by the ruling families, stretching deep into the archeological past and far into the global future.”
Exell, Modernity and the Museum in the Arabian Peninsula, 2015

16. Nazionalismo e l’Altro
“None of the Arabian Peninsula states’ national museums tackle the role or even the existence of minorities and other ethnic and religious groups. … I am skeptical of claims that highlighting the ‘other’ will exaggerate differences and put them under the microscope. On the contrary, acknowledging and celebrating their roles and lives in a respectful matter would reinforce social cohesion and understanding”
Al Qassemi, Treasure Troves of History and Diversity, 2013

Msheireb Properties’ CEO, Abdulla Hassan Al-Mehshadi, claimed that the downtown development was part of preserving Qatar’s “rich past while shaping its identity as a modern, progressive nation.”
Exhibits in one of the museums, Bin Jelmood House, will focus on the historic slave trade and current situation regarding human trafficking throughout Africa, Asia and the Indian Ocean. The gallery on modern slavery will include information panels, audio visual and interactive displays "to highlight human trafficking and modern exploitation globally."
The museum said that it is developing temporary exhibitions and programmes related to “migrant labour issues in the region” and “the use of forced labour in production of consumer goods.”
