The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) is home to one of the greatest collections of Islamic Art in the world, spanning 1400 years of Islamic History over 3 continents. Founded in 2008, the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) was one of the first projects initiated by Qatar Museums. Designed by the renowned Chinese American architect I. M. Pei, MIA is a globally acclaimed museum that stands majestically on Doha’s Corniche, with panoramic views of the city’s waterfront. The carefully selected artefacts exhibited come from both religious and secular contexts and represent a myriad of stories and Muslim cultures, with many pieces on display to the public for the first time.
