Artistic Qatar: Museum of Islamic Art and Katara

Qatar has established itself as a cultural capital of the Gulf, driven by remarkable artistic ambition.

Museum of Islamic Art

Designed by I. M. Pei, the MIA holds over a thousand years of Islamic art — manuscripts, ceramics, textiles and jewellery — in an architectural gem set on the water.

Katara Cultural Village

An open-air amphitheatre, galleries, mosaic-clad mosques and year-round festivals: Katara is the meeting point for creators and families.

Don't miss

The National Museum of Qatar and Doha's public art scene (works by Serra, Kapoor and others) complete the cultural itinerary.
