👍 This is a master piece, sheer simplicity carved into elegant structure. It is located on one of the end of the Corniche and is a geometric marvel. It showcases history and artifacts with sheer elegance. I was mesmerised that this whole place is located on an artificial island. There is a restaurant...

    This is a master piece, sheer simplicity carved into elegant structure. It is located on one of the end of the Corniche and is a geometric marvel. It showcases history and artifacts with sheer elegance. I was mesmerised that this whole place is located on an artificial island. There is a restaurant on the ground floor with awesome french cusines to clench your tastebuds and a park right outside the museum which is open 24x7. You have to be here to feel its grandeur!

    This is located very close to Souq Waqif. The don't allow people inside. All you can do is to take a photograph from the outside. Maybe if you are a good photographer, you can click a nice photograph against the night sky.

    A separate exhibition space, the Al Riwaq Art Space, only houses temporary exhibits. Presently, the art space is hosting an exhibition by Jeff Koons. The layout of this art space is different from the museum of Islamic art, although it occupies the same grounds as the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA). The space was very well set up and brightly lit. There's a very calm atmosphere to the exhibition, which is thought-provoking and intriguing.

    Al Riwaq Gallery is hosting Jeff Koons’s first exhibition in the Gulf region wich provides a unique view into his exceptional career as one of the best-known contemporary artists. In the 1990s, he created a series of huge steel sculptures imitating oblong balloon toys. Playing with such balls, as Koons said, in childhood made an impression on him, which has not been erased to this day.

  • 4/5 Muneer P. 5 years ago on Google
    The Museum of Islamic Art is a museum located on one end of the seven kilometers long Corniche in the Qatari capital, Doha. As with the architect I. M. Pei's requirement, the museum is built on an island off an artificial projecting peninsula near the traditional dhow harbor. A purpose-built park surrounds the edifice on the Eastern and Southern facades while two bridges connect the Southern front facade of the property with the main peninsula that holds the park. The Western and Northern facades are marked by the harbor showcasing the Qatari seafaring past. The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) represents Islamic art from three continents over 1,400 years. Its collection includes metal work, ceramics, jewelry, wood work, textiles and glass obtained from three continents and dating from the 7th to the 19th century. The museum houses a collection of work gathered since the late 1980's including manuscripts, textiles and ceramics. It is one of the world’s most complete collections of Islamic artifacts, with items originating in Spain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, India, and Central Asia. Facilities inside the five-storied museum include temporary and permanent galleries, a gift shop, a library, a cafe, a 200-seat theater, classrooms and a restaurant. There are prayer rooms and ablution facilities inside to cater to Muslim visitors. External facilities that form part of the crescent shaped MIA park include walking tracks, cycling tracks, a carousel, cafes, rest rooms and boat rentals. MIA is part of Qatar Museums Authority. Admission to the museum and park are free. The park is open 24 hours to cater to residents of the city.

  • 5/5 Lindsay W. 2 years ago on Google
    To be clear, this art space is different than the Museum of Islamic Art, though it resides in the same grounds as the MIA. The Al Riwaq Art Space is a separate exhibition space that only houses temporary exhibits. As such, it is not always open, so you would have to check to see if there is an exhibit. It is a pretty simple looking on the outside, but it has housed some pretty amazing exhibitions including Miyazaki and Damien Hirst. Not very predictable as to when something is there, but if you get lucky and something is, take the opportunity.

    For those who wants to go to the crystal room don’t waist your time. The time you can stay there is 2 minutes only. And every 30 seconds it’s going completely dark. For that time you even can’t make any photos. Hilarious.

  • 1/5 Unique D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As everyone knows, it's the worst insurance company in the world. If there was less than a star, I would have given it. The important question: Why does the notorious Al Koot company continue to expand while providing services so poorly? Knowing that all of its clients suffer from its unprofessional services. Why all this support for Kut? Is it a Qatari company? Therefore, big companies are forced to deal with them, even if they cause disruption to patients, which leads to their harm? Many of its clients say that they do not go to clinics to conduct important health checks, or to diagnose a specific disease, due to Kut's trivial procedures, and their negotiations in approvals and explanations, due to their immediate disagreement with many diagnoses like other insurance companies. However, this company, which everyone hates, continues its services, and closes the door to other (professional) insurance companies. (Original) كما بعرف الجميع، أنها أسوأ شركة تأمين في العالم على الإطلاق. لو كانت هناك اقل من نجمة كنت حطيتها. السؤال المهم: لماذا تستمر شركة الكوت ذات السمعة السيئة في التوسع وهي تقدم خدمات في منتهى السوء؟ مع العلم، بأن جميع عملائها يعانون من خدماتها غير المهنية. لناذا كل هذا الدعم للكوت؟ هل لأنها شركة قطرية؟ ولذلك تجبر الشركات الكبرى للتعامل معها، حتى و إن كانت تتسبب بتعطيل المرضى، مما يؤدي إلى ضررهم؟ يقول كثير من عملائها، أنهم لا يذهبون الى العيادات لإجراء فحوصات مهمة لصحتهم، او للتشخيص عن مرض معين، وذلك بسبب إجراءات الكوت التافهة، و مفاوضاتهم في الموافقات والشروحات وذلك بسبب عدم موافقتهم الفورية لكثير من التشخيصات مثل باقي شركات التأمين. مع ذا، تستمر هذه الشركة التي يبغض الجميع خدماتها، و يغلق الباب أمام شركات التأمين الأخرى (المهنية).

    A bad museum of modern art, and they put pieces of wood and light bulbs in for you, and the employee comes and tells you two words so that you understand their absurdity. I do not recommend it at all and do not waste your time
