Museum of Islamic Art
in Qatar (Asia)

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 harbour.
