Lonely Planet review for Museum of Islamic Arts

Rising from its own purpose-built island, the monumental Museum of Islamic Arts, designed by the renowned architect IM Pei, is shaped like a postmodern fortress, with minimal windows and a 'virtual' moat. With an avenue of palm trees extending along the approach road from the corniche, it makes a bold statement about a capital that has matured into one of the most culturally engaged cities in the region.

The museum houses the largest collection of Islamic arts in the world. It also includes exhibition halls, a gallery, library and restaurant.

    I walked around the area in the front of the museum and explored the running stream of water, the beautiful walkway lined with palm trees, and the gorgeous fountains outside...

    It has a lot of Islamic collection from the regions and very clear information, hence it's very enjoyable to wander around and read one by one.

    The Museum is in a beautiful location, has gorgeous views of the Doha coastline and the lighting is striking.
