About National Museum of Qatar
Designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in 2019, the National Museum of Qatar is composed of 539 interlocking discs evoking the desert rose mineral formation. The original royal palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani stands at its heart.
Eleven immersive galleries take visitors through Qatar's geological origins, Bedouin traditions, the pearl-diving era, and the country's modern transformation.
