Museum of Islamic Art in Doha is quite new (opened to public in December 2008) but it immediately became the largest museum in Qatar.
It houses one of the most complete collections of Islamic artifacts in the world. Exhibited items come from Spain to India and visitors can admire collections of ceramics, jewelry, glass, items made of ivory and much more.
The museum's building was designed by famous architect I.M.Pei and he insisted on building it on a tiny island in Doha harbor.
Opening hours and admission
The museum is open to public every day from 10:30am to 5:30pm except for Tuesday (museum is closed) and for Friday (museum is open from 2:00pm to 8:00pm).
