Museum of Islamic Art, Doha

(Redirected from Museum of Islamic Arts, Qatar)

The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA; Arabic: متحف الفن الإسلامي) is a museum on one end of the seven-kilometer-long (4.3 mi) Corniche in Doha, Qatar. As per the architect I. M. Pei's specifications, the museum is built on an island off an artificial projecting peninsula near the traditional dhow harbor. A purpose-built park surrounds the edifice on the eastern and southern facades while two bridges connect the southern front facade of the property with the main peninsula that holds the park.[2] The western and northern facades are marked by the harbor showcasing the Qatari seafaring past. In September 2017, Qatar Museums appointed Julia Gonnella as director of MIA.[3] In 2024 Julia Gonnella became director of the Lusail Museum and was replaced by Shaika Nasser Al-Nassr.[4] In November 2022 the MIA became the first carbon-neutral certified museum in the Middle East Region.[5][6] The museum participated in the Expo 2023 Doha from October 2023 until March 2024, with workshops and events focusing on biodiversity and sustainability.[7]

Facilities

edit

The museum hosts the restaurant IDAM led by the head chef Alain Ducasse.[8] The restaurant is inspired by French Mediterranean cuisine. IDAM also offers master classes in cooking artisanal bread and raw foods.[9] The museum has a park,[10] workshops for schools and the general public,[11] and a library that provides information about Islamic Arts in both English and Arabic. The library also has nine study rooms.[12]

Adjacent to the museum is the MIA Park, a waterfront open space administered by the museum. It features cafes, a children's play area, and 7, a vertical steel sculpture by American sculptor Richard Serra.[13] A bazaar is also held at the park, having started in 2012 as a once a month event, but eventually being hosted twice a week since late 2016.[14] After being paused in 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic,[15] the bazaar was held again in late February 2023.[16]

Architecture

edit

The museum is influenced by traditional Islamic architecture[17] yet has a uniquely modern design involving geometric patterns. It is the first of its kind to feature over 14 centuries of Islamic art in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf.[18]

Occupying an area of 45,000 m2 (480,000 sq ft), the museum is on an artificial peninsula overlooking the south end of Doha Bay.[19] Construction of the building was done by a Turkish company, Baytur Construction, in 2006. The interior gallery spaces were designed by a team of Wilmotte Associates. The museum was opened on November 22, 2008, by the then-emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad.[20] It opened to the general public on December 8, 2008.[21][22]

At 91 years of age, the museum's architect, I. M. Pei had to be coaxed out of retirement to undertake this enterprise. He traveled throughout the Muslim world on a six-month quest to learn about Muslim architecture and history and read Muslim texts to draw inspiration for his design.[23] According to Pei, the light fountain in 9th century Ibn Tulun Mosque of Cairo was the inspiration.[24]

Declining all proposed sites for the museum, he suggested a stand-alone island for the structure to avoid encroachments by other buildings in the future. It was built off an artificial peninsula, approximately 60 m (200 ft) off the Doha Corniche and surrounded by a somewhat crescent-shaped 290,000 m2 (3,100,000 sq ft) park.[23] Pei requested that the museum spaces be designed by his collaborator on the Louvre project, Wilmotte & Associates, who then assembled a design team including Plowden & Smith (conservation consultants), Isometrix Lighting + Design (lighting consultants), and SG Conseil (AV Consultants) under Turner Projacs. Along with this design team, Leslie E. Robertson Associates was the structural engineer for the project.

The main building consists of the five floors, the main dome, and the central tower. It is connected with the education ward via a large central court.[25] Pei utilized creamy limestone for the outer facades to emphasize the various shades during the different times of the day. The five floors are covered by a glass facade to the north, and it provides a panoramic view of the Persian Gulf. The interior of the building is decorated by several Islamic arts, and the large metallic chandelier hung over the main staircase of the lobby.[26] Many elements found in Ibn Tulun Mosque are represented in the building as an abstract form. This enables the agreement with values and principles of the postmodern architecture historical trend which synchronize the modernity and the historical Islamic architectural identity.[24]

2022 renovation

edit

As preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Museum of Islamic Art announced in June 2021 that it would be closed for renovation works until autumn 2022, to upgrade its main entrance, galleries, lecture hall and further indoor spaces.[27][28] In June 2022 MIA Director Julia Gonnella[29] introduced the museum's revised concept of an 'immersive cultural experience'[30] to attract additional visitors and to enable families and young visitors to explore Islamic art.[31] In August 2022 the official reopening date was confirmed for 5 October 2022 with an increased number of more than 1,100 mostly newly acquired exhibits on display. The renovations provided better accessibility and an improved educational environment[32] including digital presentations and subjects interesting to younger visitors. The museum also added a 3-D tour to its website.[33]

The museum reopened on 4 October 2022, during the National Cultural Event of "Qatar Creative",[34] which provides an opportunity to bring together Qatar's creative industries with the wider public community.[35] Its 18 newly renovated galleries, covering an area of 480,000 square feet, display Islamic art from the seventh to the 20th centuries, divided according to their historical eras and their cultural and geographical backgrounds,[36] which allows visitors of modern Doha an extended insight into Islamic history.[37] The renovated museum's first exhibition, Baghdad: Eye's Delight presents the traditions and history of Iraq's capital.[38] The exhibition includes also objects loaned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris.[39]

 
The Museum of Islamic Arts

Collection

edit

The Museum of Islamic Art represents Islamic art from three continents over 1,400 years.[40] Its collection includes metal work, ceramics, jewelry, wood work, textiles, and glass obtained from three continents and dating from the 7th to the 20th century.[41]

The museum houses a collection of work gathered since the late 1980s including manuscripts, textiles and ceramics.[42] It is one of the world's most complete collections of Islamic artifacts, with items originating in Spain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, India, and Central Asia.[43]

Manuscripts

edit

An important Quranic manuscript within the collection is MS.474.2003.[44] The museum also owns a page of the Blue Qur'an, an indigo-dyed manuscript created over 1,000 years ago that is one of the most elaborate Qur'ans in the world.[45][46]

Cooperations and collaborations

edit

The 2022 to 2023 exhibition "Baghdad: Eye’s Delight" showcased objects from other museums such as the Met or the Louvre.[47][48] After receiving a donation from Qatar Museums to celebrate the reopening of the MIA and the 10th anniversary of the opening of The Met’s Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia in 2022, the Met named one of its galleries the Qatar Gallery.[49][50] During the 2021 Qatar-USA year of culture, the exhibition "Fashioning an Empire: Textiles from Safavid Iran" was shown as part of a collaboration at the National Museum of Asian Art in Washington DC. From October 2023 to April 2024 the exhibition took place at the MIA.[51][52] After Qatar Museums signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, an exhibition at the Hong Kong Palace Museum, organised by the MIA, were announced for 2025.[53][54] In May 2024 the museum opened a Museum Escape Room in a cooperation with the VCUarts Qatar, focusing on themes such as Islamic Science, Calligraphy and Inventions as well as Astronomy.[55]

The museum exhibited some of their items in the Place Vendôme Mall in Lusail in 2024.[56][57][58]
