Museum of Islamic Arts, Qatar
- Museum of Islamic Arts, Qatar
The Museum of Islamic Art is a museum located in the Qatari capital Doha and designed by architect I. M. Pei.
The museum draws much influence from ancient Islamic architecture yet has a unique design. It will be the first of its kind in the Gulf and will have a very large collection of Islamic art, plus a study, a library, and several restaurants. The museum has a total area of 45,000 m2 and lies on the edge of Doha harbour at the south end of Doha Bay. Construction of the structure reached completion in 2006, but due to a variety of changes to the interior of the building it will celebrate its opening on November 22, 2008. [cite news
