Qatar Museums Authority (QMA) revealed on 23rd March, at MOMA, its exhibition plans for the new National Museum of Qatar designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel.
Embodying the pride and traditions of Qatars people while offering international visitors a dialogue about rapid change and modernization, the National Museum of Qatar will be the setting for a program in which entire walls become cinematic displays, sonorous cocoons shelter oral-history presentations and hand-held mobile devices guide visitors through thematic displays of the collections treasures. Though built around an historic structure, the Fariq Al Salatah Palace, which had served as a museum of heritage since 1975, the National Museum of Qatar is conceived and designed as a thoroughly new institution, in keeping with the high aspirations that animate QMA.

  • Arup were the SMEP designers on this project. I personally spent 2.5years on this job as a mechanical design engineer, taking it from concept to tender and I can tell you the structure is absolutely incredible. It will be a monumental feat of engineering when completed. Can't wait!

  • Who are the structural engineers? This concept video is nice but how is the structure even designed?

  • ow wow. what a nice Museum that will be..

  • It is to big space for the Qatar's culture, maybe they will buy some of the Indian culture..the problem is that they can buy everything except culture...Culture is in the people not in the buildings..
