I.M. Pei's final masterpiece stands on its own artificial peninsula in Doha Bay — a geometric fortress of white limestone that houses 1,400 years of Islamic art from three continents. The MIA is widely considered the finest collection of Islamic art in the world, and its setting against the Doha skyline makes it one of the most photographed buildings in the Middle East.

  • 1,400 years of Islamic art from Spain to Central Asia in one collection
  • I.M. Pei's iconic geometric architecture — his final major commission
  • Stunning views of the West Bay skyline across Doha Bay
  • World-class rotating exhibitions alongside permanent galleries
  • MIA Park — a free waterfront promenade stretching along the bay
