Museum of Islamic Art

An iconic feature of the Doha skyline, the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) represents Islamic art from three continents over 1,400 years. Inspired by elements of Islamic architecture, noted architect I.M. Pei designed the museum. It is connected to MIA Park, where one can participate in activities, rent bicycles and paddleboats, or gaze at impressive views of the city. 

MIA is the flagship project of Qatar Museums, which is under the leadership of its Chairperson H.E. Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.

The MIA collection includes manuscripts, ceramics, metal, glass, ivory, textiles, wood and precious stones. Collected from three continents, including countries across the Middle East, and reaching as far as Spain and China, MIA’s collection dates from the 7th through to the 19th century.
