This article discusses the proposal of the presentation of a single homogenous identity at the new National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), due to open in 2019, presenting a discussion of Qatari identity and the historical factors that create such an identity. The article raises a series of questions for the theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of presentation of the Qatari identity, such as which form of Qatari identity should be presented at NMoQ: a single homogenous identity, or the diversity that exists within the national population? If the Museum’s presentation focused on a single identity, how far would such a presentation be accepted and perceived by the Qatari public? This paper also considers the impact of the current political crisis, the blockade against Qatar by some of its neighbours and the severing of diplomatic relationships, which has resulted in Qatari citizens coming together in a show of unity.

在卡塔尔国家博物馆展出卡塔尔身份：在想象与现实之间

本文讨论了将于2019年开放的新卡塔尔国家博物馆（NMoQ）提出单一同质身份的提议，并讨论了卡塔尔身份以及创造这种身份的历史因素。这篇文章对研究卡塔尔身份的理论和方法提出了一系列问题，例如应在NMoQ上提出哪种形式的卡塔尔身份：单一的同质身份，或存在于全国人口中的多样性？如果博物馆的演讲集中于一个单一的身份，那么卡塔尔公众将在多大程度上接受和理解这种演讲？本文还考虑了当前政治危机的影响，
