The Museum of Islamic Art located in Doha is one of the city's most frequented tourist destinations which specialize in showcasing a unique display of exhibits which are of importance to Muslims. The museum was officially opened in 2008 and is popular among local and foreign visitors alike, as some of the items found in the museum are of very great historic significance. The building that houses the impressive selection of exhibits is quite an eye-catching sight in Doha itself, having been designed by Leoh Min Pei.

The main contributor to the impressive array of artefacts in the museum is Qatar's Royal Family. This impressive collection of rare and sometimes priceless items is of great historic and religious significance. The metal, wooden, ceramic and glass-themed exhibits which can be found in the museum belong to the Qatar National Collection of Islamic Art.
