Scheduled to open on June 25th, In-Q is located on the second floor of the luxurious Harrods department store in London and will bring authentic Qatari culture to the UK.

Visitors to In-Q will be able to enjoy a comprehensive experience, where traditional arts and crafts, books, Islamic clothes, jewellery, and merchandise from Qatar’s world-class museums will be on show and available for purchase. There will also be a relaxation area serving Arabic coffee with dates and sweets, giving visitors a chance to sample Qatari hospitality and connect with Qatar’s culture.

“We aim to offer people a taste of Qatari culture and heritage through visiting our retail shop in Harrods,” says Mansoor Al Khater, CEO at Qatar Museums Authority. “In-Q will be closely connected to art exhibitions and major cultural activities taking place in Qatar.
