Book of the Month:

National Museum of Qatar: Museum Guide

The National Museum of Qatar, which opened in March 2019, contains treasured objects representing the peninsula’s geographic, natural, and human history. This guide unlocks the collection and explores the superb new space designed by world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel, which is inspired by the desert rose with its interlocking disks and innovative design that responds to the country’s desert location by the sea.

The museum, built around Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thani’s original nineteenth-century palace, honors Qatar’s heritage while looking to its future as a thriving cultural hub. National Museum of Qatar: Museum Guide also includes stills from some of the museum’s state-of-the-art films devoted to Qatar’s rich heritage, and images of archaeological artifacts and architectural elements, heritage household and travel-related objects, textiles and costumes, jewelry, and decorative arts. A beautifully produced book with breathtaking photography and enlightening essays by the museum’s curators, this is the ultimate guide to the National Museum of Qatar.
