These murals are from the Fire Station Museum which we visited on the 8th January 2025, during our December/January visit to Doha. The former fire station has been converted into a contemporary art space, showcasing art and artists, and nurturing emerging talent.
These murals were on the facade of the museum's building.
This first mural was painted by self-taught Qatari artist Abdulla Al Emadi, called "Mechanical Dreams" - a portrayal of a mechanical robot wearing traditional Qatari clothing.

...Sami, you found some colorful an intriguing murals. I like the lady bug. Thanks for hosting, have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteIt's cute isn't it? Thanks Tom
DeleteThe Amount of public art you found in Doha is very impressive. I love the abstract nature of mural on the fire station.

DeleteThese are some very original murals again, dear Sami! What a quirky idea to dress a mechanical robot in traditional Qatari clothing 😅. I also really like the other examples you show – my favorite is "Shroomy Ladybug" 🥰
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Traude

DeleteHow wonderful to see these murals from the Fire Station Museum in Doha. What a creative use of the building's facade.
ReplyDeleteThank you Melody.
DeleteGreat murals - astonishing they are not related to fire, though.
ReplyDeleteHaha. 2015, Forrest Chase, full of people. Ingo wanted me to go first so he sees me. 40C, Firefighter in full dress - I took a big step backwards and landed full force on Ingo´s foot!!! They sold the calendar (I thought it´s an emergency).
Ingo was a firefighter himself and as the money goes to the children´s hospital paid 15 bucks :-)
Funny that just yesterday at the farewell afternoon tea for 2 colleagues we talked about firefighters and the calendar :)
DeleteWonderful mural works, Great pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for hosting. Have a nice week ahead.
Thanks Rupam. Enjoy your week too.
DeleteC'est une étrange inspiration trtès surréaliste que cette coccinelle à champignons. Ces peintures murales de Doha, délivrées de semaines en semaines ne cessent de m'étonner
ReplyDeleteMerci Kwarkito :) Bonne semaine
DeleteFunny, I see mushrooms and I am so conditioned to our cannabis shops, but I thought, no, this is Doha!
ReplyDeleteLOL, never made that connection. When I posted this one I actually thought about a case in court at the moment in the East coast of Australia, where a woman procured toxic mushrooms to cook with,and invited here ex-in laws and another family member and fed them that meal, eating something else herself! Managed to kill 2 of the 3. Her ex-husband had also been invited but decided not go, otherwise he could have been dead too.
DeleteSeems that Doha is a never ending place for murals....really astonishing.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time
Violetta
Thank you Violetta, enjoy the rest of your week.
DeleteYou saw many murals on this trip, Sami. I like the sculpture too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat. They had some very modern sculptures there too.
DeleteThese are really fun ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie :)
DeleteTill you started posting murals you've seen in Dubai, I had no idea how many there were in that city.
ReplyDeleteSusan
I had no idea I would find that many murals either, and there are still many I didn't see! Thanks Susan.
DeleteVery colorful! I like the sculptures too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, the sculptures were interesting too.
DeleteYou find so many awesome murals all over the world. so interesting! Our little town has suddenly been decorated by lots of mosaic features. Really fun and beautiful. I will have to look if someone is highlighting mosaics.
ReplyDeleteHi Gill. Thanks for your comment. Please post your mosaic murals here if you wish. They go live every Monday.
