The experience
Entry to Jean Nouvel’s National Museum of Qatar, its interlocking discs built around interactive galleries on the country’s history.
Designed by architect Jean Nouvel and inspired by the desert rose mineral formation, the museum tells Qatar’s story from its geological formation through the pearling era to the modern state, using immersive and interactive displays rather than static cases alone.
The included audio guide gives context to the galleries at your own pace, and the building itself, wrapped around the restored historic Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jassim Al Thani Palace, is as much a reason to visit as the exhibits inside.
