Product Description
With architecture designed by I. M. Pei, an interior by J.-M.
Wilmotte, and one of the world s finest collections, the
Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar, showcases the artistic
achievements of the Muslim world in a dazzling way. Interviews
with I.M. Pei and Jean-Michel Wilmotte reveal how the
architects sought to express the museum s ties with tradition
while allowing the building to become an integral part of the
region s modern architectural environment. In addition, Dr.
Sabiha Al Khemir, the director of the museum, discusses her
vision for the display of the objects and the challenges of
presenting Islamic art to the public. A selection of thirty of the
museum s most important treasures, including metalwork,
miniatures, carpets, calligraphy and ceramics, are featured
with texts outlining their origins and significance.
