This museum is set within a house that was once used as the headquarters for Qatar’s first oil company. Company House tells the story of the pioneering Qatari petroleum industry workers and their families, whose dream for better tomorrow transformed Qatari society. The exhibition features first-hand witness accounts of the men who worked not just to provide for their families but also to lay the foundations for their emerging nation.

Not afraid of challenges and setbacks, these Qatari pioneers demonstrated remarkable dedication, ushering in the era of oil exploration. Visitors can learn about their stories and the endurance of the rough journey to Dukhan with smiles, all the while yearning for their loved ones left behind in Doha
