In reply to Catherine. Catherine, Really, it blew my mind. The architecture by itself was enough to get me there, and it just got better.

This place sounds amazing, before you even step in the door! Quite a different art gallery experience :)

In reply to Aisha. Aisha, It was the number one thing we wanted to see in Qatar, because I had read so much about the architecture and exhibits...and it didn't disappoint. We loved it! Hi to you and Mo, too!

Wow, Corrine, what a great post! How impressive the I. M. Pei did this building at 86! I guess that’s an inspiration all in itself! And what a sensitive touch to the design, it is gorgeous with so many islamic art references in both the architecture and the interior design, what an amazing peice of achitectural design, I’m really glad you highlighted that as well as the museums exhibitions. Thanks very much! (Hi to you, too, Jim! â™¥ ;^) )

I haven’t been to Qatar, although like so many places it’s on my bucket list. Fantastic photos, especially that night shot.

In reply to Ann. Ann, It was very interesting. The great thing for parents of young children is that there's no cost. So, you could go do one exhibit and leave, and come back to do another the next night. That way you wouldn't wear out the kids.
