QOSM announces launch of 321 Cultural Olympiad to celebrate sport and art fusion
Tribune News Network Doha The Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum (QOSM) has announced the launch of the 321 Cultural Olympiad, a creative initiative that brings together the dynamic worlds of sport and art as inspired by the vision of the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Slated to be held from June 1-24 , the 321 Cultural Olympiad will highlight the deep connection between artistic expression and athletic excellence, paying tribute to De Coubertin's belief that the 'arts and literature joined with sport to ensure the greatness of the Olympic Games.' Commenting on the unique occasion, President of QOSM, Sheikh Mohammed Abdulla Al Thani said 'The 321 Cultural Olympiad embodies our commitment to education, creativity, and the enduring values of the Olympic movement. We invite everyone to join us and discover vibrant showcase of themes, exhibits, and stories drawn from Olympic and Paralympic history, reimagined through the lens of youth creativity.' The expo has drawn participation from more than 28 schools across Qatar, with over 400 student artworks submitted—demonstrating the remarkable creativity and passion of young minds across the nation. These works showcase the themes, exhibits and stories related to the Olympic and Paralympic values and history. Director of the Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, Abdulla Y. Al Mulla, shared that the Cultural Olympiad brings the Spirit of Olympism to life in a creative and meaningful way. 'At its heart, the 321 Cultural Olympiad is about inspiring a new generation to appreciate the cultural and human values that sport represents,' he said. 'This initiative reflects our dedication to engaging with the Olympic values through art, education, and creative expression. It celebrates Qatar's growing role in global sport and gives young people a chance to connect with the cultural side of sport.' Inspired by the Ancient Greek belief that art and sport are perfect partners, the Cultural Olympiad is a tradition rooted in the Olympic Games where from 1912 to 1948, art, literature, sculpture, music and architecture were celebrated with gold, silver and bronze medals alongside sport. The Cultural Olympiad will culminate in a special Awards Ceremony on 23 June, where outstanding student contributions will be recognised. This initiative aims to reconnect with the original vision of the Olympics by inviting students in Grade 6 and above to take part in designing, creating, and presenting a Cultural Olympiad Expo. The programme will explore the Olympic and Paralympic Values and the enduring Spirit of Olympism. By reintroducing this creative tradition, Qatar seeks to inspire the next generation through a powerful fusion of sport, art, and cultural expression, and aims to showcase how creativity and sport can together promote peace, unity, and cultural dialogue in a rapidly changing world. Entrance to the Award Ceremony is open to the public, and no registration is required. Please note that the Museum is closed on Tuesdays. For more information, please visit
