I.M. Pei Designs New Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar


Last month, I visited Doha, Qatar, just a week before the grand opening of its Museum of Islamic Art. The building itself was designed by 91-year-old I.M. Pei, who was lured out of retirement speficially for this project. The New York Times wrote an interesting piece commemorating the event, along with a photo gallery much better than my own photos. I hope to visit the Museum during my next trip to Qatar!
