DOHA, June 12 (KUNA) -- Situated in the historic Msheireb district of Doha, the "Company House" museum offers an illuminating account of the pioneering oil workers of Qatar, who courageously endured the harsh desert conditions to establish the foundations of the country's energy sector.
The museum, housed within the former headquarters of Qatar's first oil company, presents an array of original drilling tools, personal effects, and rare photographic archives. Visitors are afforded the opportunity to engage with video interviews and meticulously crafted models that authentically depict the challenges encountered by these early industry pioneers.
Despite operating under constrained resources, their unwavering dedication played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary Qatar, transforming a once tranquil desert terrain into a prominent force within the global energy market.
This exhibition stands as a dignified tribute to their resilience, foresight, and enduring contribution to the nation's progress. (end)
