Fischer’s Untitled

Fischer’s Untitled (Lamp/Bear)

IN-Q Enterprises (IN-Q), Qatar Museums' commercial arm and wholly owned subsidiary, offers a new and exclusive collection adapted from Urs Fischer's Untitled (Lamp/Bear). The striking sculpture, which reminds of childhood or precious objects from home, was realized on a monumental scale by the artist who combined a canary yellow teddy bear with a bedroom desk lamp, welcoming guests at the grand foyer of Hamad International Airport (HIA).

Products include plush toys, apparel, figurines and accessories, as well as an eye-catching functional lamp replica that brightens the living space.

“We have carefully curated our product line inspired by the iconic Urs Fischer's Untitled Lamp/Bear,” says Tigest Seifu, Director of Retail & Merchandising. “With our gift items, one can bring home the Lamp/Bear as a keepsake of their visit to Qatar and the world-class HIA.”

Available at IN-Q Gift Shops in the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), MATHAF: Museum of Modern Art, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic & Sports Museum (QOSM) and at IN-Q online.

ABOUT QATAR MUSEUMS

Qatar Museums (QM), the nation's preeminent institution for art and culture, provides authentic and inspiring cultural experiences through a growing network of museums, heritage sites, festivals, public art installations, and programmes. QM preserves, restores, and expands the nation's cultural offerings and historical sites, sharing art and culture from Qatar, the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia (MENASA) region with the world and enriching the lives of citizens, residents, and visitors.

Under the patronage of His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and led by its Chairperson, Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, QM has made Qatar a vibrant centre for the arts, culture, and education in the Middle East and beyond. QM is integral to the goal of developing an innovative, diverse, and progressive nation, bringing people together to ignite new thinking, spark critical cultural conversations, educate and encourage environmental stewardship and sustainable practices, and amplify the voices of Qatar's people. Since its founding in 2005, QM has overseen the Museum of Islamic Art and MIA Park, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of Qatar, QM Gallery Al Riwaq, QM Gallery Katara, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, and Dadu, Children's Museum of Qatar.

Through its newly created Creative Hub, QM also initiates and supports projects—such as the Fire Station Artist in Residence, the Tasweer Qatar Photo Festival and the creative hub for innovation, fashion and design M7—that nurture artistic talent and create opportunities to build a strong and sustainable cultural infrastructure.

Animating everything that Qatar Museums does is an authentic connection to Qatar and its heritage, a steadfast commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, and a belief in creating value through invention.
