The National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) has planned a series of events each Saturday for its “Family Saturday” programme, which will continue throughout May. They are all free to attend and will be taking place within the museum. Here is the summary.
A Walk in the Rain with a Brain
Children ages five to 11 are invited to join in on a storytelling session of A Walk in the Rain with a Brain, which tells the story of Lucy and a brain called Fred. Fred helps Lucy discover her abilities and talents by teaching her how to learn and play as they stroll in the rain. This storytime is inspired by NMoQ’s ongoing exhibition, Pipilotti Rist: Your Brain To Me, My Brain To You.
