Traveling to Doha, you certainly can't miss the masterpiece of Ieoh Ming Pei: the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar

The world is so big, of course, you have to go and see it! A must-visit stop on a trip to Qatar is definitely the masterpiece of Master Ieoh Ming Pei: the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar. The exterior of the museum is simple and modern, while the interior is filled with complex Islamic elements: silver domes, glass curtain walls, arched windows and door curtains are all iconic elements of traditional Islamic architecture. The moment you step into it, you will be shocked! The Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar collects and preserves Islamic art from all over the world. From the ancient Persian brass star plate in Iran to the jade amulet of the Mughal dynasty in India, thousands of years of Islamic relics and artworks from three continents are gathered here, many of which come from the collection of the eldest daughter of Queen Mozah: Princess Mayassa. This princess has an annual budget of up to 1 billion US dollars for purchasing artworks, and is hailed by Forbes as 'the undisputed queen of the art world today'.
