Description
The collection within the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha & x28;MIA& x29; spans three continents and more than 1,400 years, making it the largest collection of Islamic art on the planet. Built on reclaimed land just of Dohaâs Corniche, the MIA structure was designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect I.M. Pei, who took inspiration from ancient Islamic architecture in crafting this postmodern masterpiece. The collectionâceramics, metalwork, textiles, glass and manuscripts, among othersâare spread across three floors; the ground floor houses a museum shop and a cafe with a stellar view of Doha Bay, where visitors can take a break over some French Arabic cuisine.
