The Qatar National Museum is a museum that is currently under construction and is located opposite the Doha Corniche in the Qatari capital, Doha. The building that was built in place of the Qatar National Museum was designed by the architect Jean Nouvel. It is scheduled to open in December 2018.
The new Qatar National Museum under construction is characterized by an innovative design by Pritzker award-winning architect Jean Nouvelle, who drew inspiration from the desert flower and rose and grew naturally around the Abdullah Bin Qassim Al Thani Palace. The historic palace has been restored by the Berlin architectural firm Zegert, Roswag and Seeler Architecture. This important memorial to Qatar’s past is now preserved as the heart of the new Qatar National Museum. The relationship between the new and old building is part of creating the bridge between the past and the present called by Mayassa Bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani because it is the way to “define ourselves rather than be defined forever by others … a celebration of our identity.”
The 430,000-square-foot (40,000-square-meter) museum was created by a series of interlocking discs that create cavities to protect visitors from desert heat. The building is located on an area of 1.5 million square feet at the southern end of the Doha Corniche. The new Qatar National Museum building will rise from the sea and it will be connected to the beach by two pedestrian bridges and a car bridge.
