The Museum of Islamic Art

The Museum of Islamic Art is one of the main landmarks of Doha. The museum's collection comprises Islamic art peices from three continents over 1400 years. MIA is the flagship of Qatar Museums which, under the leadership of its Chairperson H.E. Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, is transforming the State of Qatar into a cultural capital of the Middle East.

MIA sheds light on our origins to illuminate our future. Through safeguarding masterpiece collections of Islamic art and showcasing extraordinary exhibitions, MIA shares knowledge, spreading curiosity, understanding, and joy.

The architecure of the museum is a masterpiece on its own. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I.M. Pei, MIA is comprised of a main building with an adjacent education wing connected by a large central courtyard. The main building rises five-storeys, topped by a high domed atrium within a central tower.
