A guide to the best of the collections at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar.
With flagship architecture by I. M. Pei, an interior designed by J.-M. Wilmotte, and one of the world's finest collections of its type, the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar, is a dazzling showcase of the artistic achievements of the Islamic world. The collection represents the highest expression of artistic culture, covering lands from Spain to Central Asia and India, and ranging in date from the early Islamic period to the nineteenth century, including metalwork, miniatures, carpets, calligraphy, and ceramics.
Published to coincide with the re-opening of the museum galleries, this guide brilliantly conveys the quality and significance of the Museum of Islamic Art collection, presenting key objects with explanatory texts from the museum curatorial team.
