2 months, 1 day, 16 hours agoThis article is about the opening night of Qatar's Museum of Islamic Art. The building is created out of white stone in a ziggurat type style. The Museum opened last November and all of the famous people in the modern islamic art scene showed up, even the extremely elderly architect that designed the building. The creation of the museum is a symbol of Qatar's attempt to establish itself as the fine arts hub of the middle east. The museum has all types of islamic art from all different time periods.
