Immersed in the excitement and celebration during Qatar World Cup, visitors can find in the heart of Doha a view like no other at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Park.

Like tiles in a mosaic, the collection in Doha's Museum of Islamic Art, provides visitors with a peek into diverse aspects of Muslim heritage, art and craftmanship with items spanning three continents and many centuries.

The museum showcases a variety of the old and historic soccer fans from around the world. Designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei, the MIA complex has a presence that is somehow both imposing and simple, with its waterfront location, light-colored exteriors and sharp and clean architectural lines.

The museum's collection includes metalwork, ceramics, woodwork and textiles.

Initially opened in 2008, the museum closed in April 2021 and reopened a month before the World Cup with expanded interpretive materials to help provide more context for items on display.
