Daktronics has partnered with the National Museum of Qatar in Doha, in conjunction with Techno Q, to manufacture and install 14 narrow pixel pitch LED displays totalling more than 123 square meters inside the museum’s Gallery 11.
“We wanted to provide a clear picture and engaging story to all that visited the museum through the use of technology,” said Waleed Nashan, Director of Construction Management for the Qatar Museum Authority. “Daktronics found the right technical solution and the right product. Techno Q provided very good technical support ensuring the right technology was provided to bring the architect’s vision to life.”
All 14 LED displays, which were installed in 2019, feature 1.9-millimeter line spacing and are installed behind the gallery’s mirrored architectural glass façades. The displays show videos and audiovisuals to share the country’s story in a cutting-edge, interactive way that charts the nation from its origins to where it is today.
“In this unique application, the displays themselves are part of the exhibit,” said Ahmad Dahmash, Daktronics regional manager. “The technology needed to serve the needs of the architect and the museum at the same time. We delivered the right product for the needs of both and the result is simply stunning. It’s a fantastic showcase of technology and history.”
