National Museum of Qatar

This volume is published on the occasion of the opening of the National Museum of Qatar in the states capital, Doha. It explores and celebrates architect Jean Nouvels innovative design which, inspired by the desert rose with its interlocking disks, responds to the countrys desert location by the sea. The museum, built around Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thanis original 19th-century palace, honours Qatars heritage while looking to its future as a thriving cultural hub. See more
