description

The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha (2008), inspired by ancient Islamic architecture, in particular the Ibn Tulun Mosque in Cairo, is located on a separate island and surrounded by a park. Both the exterior and interior, including the surrounding park, combine modern aesthetics with traditional symmetry of Islamic geometric designs to create a seamless transition between natural surroundings and spaces.
