Designed by I.M. Pei, the building itself is fitting for the incredible works housed within. Also, a lovely little cafe with an amazing view of the bay !
Escape the heat if only to admire the wonderful view of Doha from the ground floor cafe and enjoy artfully made Moroccan tea with a selection of delicious Arabic pastries
A nice place to spend couple of hours while in Qatar. Beautiful building and nice interior. I loved The way they presented the museum items and enjoyed the most Mohammed Ali exhibition
You must visit it when you are in Qatar, it's an amazing historical museum and for sure you need full day to finish it ,,
Good place to spend a couple hours while layed over in Doha. The collection is not vast but the exhibits are well executed and the IM Pei designed museum has a nice combination of light and lines .
It has a geometric design resembling a pile of rectangular boxes, also the inside is surrounded by geometric forms up to the ceiling. It has around three floors of galleries dedicated to Islamic Art .
Really amazing architectural space and building. Museum content is well lit and displayed but there are really only 2 floors and lacking in content in general. But it’s nice place to walk around in
The museum visit was great.. A lot of stuff from different places of the old islamic world .. Sometimes they have other show rooms for different events as well .. Worth visiting
It supposed to have some historical Islamic objects regarding Qatar or Arabic island . Instead of I see pieces from mostly Iran and Turkey .
Visited the MIA in Doha! Don’t miss the stunning architecture by I. M. Pei and the panoramic views from the terrace . The exhibits are incredible, and the gift shop has some unique finds.
Impressive building and great although necessarily limited collection; at some point you get tired of geometric patterns and calligraphic art , beautiful as they are. Very nice surrounding Park .
Great architectural masterpiece in the middle of Doha. Amazing collection of Islamic Arts and objects. The MIA cafe offers magnificent vie over the West Bay . The best cafeteria in town !

Beautiful place. With a nice park in the surrounding. Architecture is amazing and the exposition inside is accurate and stilish. Definitely a place to visit.
A must see if you are in Doha.
You’re about to experience the biggest collection of Islamic art in the world. Pace yourself. Step outside and savour IM Pei’s design. Wonderful. Later stroll the Corniche with the locals at sundown.
Beautiful design, intersting exhibitions , Free WiFi \o/ ... Shame there is nothing about the history and the cultural heritage of Qatar ;'(
great place for taking pics and viewing artworks... please adhere to their policy of no flash during taking pics inside the galleries ...

One of the best Islamic museums in the gulf states . Free entry!
Visiting the museum is a must. Fantastic architecture ! Enjoy the exhibition and visit the cafe inside.
The Museum of Islamic Art (mia.org.qa; free) is one of Doha’s biggest draws. The vast space is a clever mix of New York’s Guggenheim and Istanbul’s Yeni Camii mosque .
I came all the way from Riyadh and I can say that this is one of the prettiest museums My eye have ever seen!!
It's all about Islamic civilizations. If you wish to know more about this culture, you should visit this museum .
Beautifull museum with a great location and a view across the bay .
