Simultaneously, Deutsche Bank, which has built up one of the world's most important corporate collections of contemporary art, is presenting German Encounters Contemporary Masterworks from the Deutsche Bank Collection at the Fire Station's Garage Gallery. Both exhibitions are running until January 2018 and are supported by the German Federal Foreign Office. The educational programme for both exhibitions is created and conducted in close cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region.
Dr. Jelena Trkulja, Director of Education at Qatar Museums, said: 'These two exhibitions are buttressed by a rich educational programme that is focused on school children. We invite teachers across Qatar to visit our website, which lists all available school tours and workshops. Teachers of various subjects will find something pertinent to their curriculum, which can be adjusted to the age group they are teaching. With each exhibition, we offer new content and learning materials that can be used in the classrooms, enriching the learning experience and broadening the students' horizons. Maya Röder, project manager at the Goethe-Institut for Qatar Germany 2017, said: 'Workshops as an art education and art appreciation program are supporting the exhibitions and will motivate the young to discover their own skills in the arts and design. During the visits, QM educators will take students and teachers on a tour of each exhibition.
