Sheikha Maysa: Prince Selects Wardat Al-Sahara for Qatar Museum Design
Qatar has a national museum that honors its heritage and history. Its design was inspired by the desert rose, an iconic landmark that represents the country’s cultural story. His Highness the Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, may God have mercy on him, chose the desert rose as the inspiration for the museum's design after observing it during a helicopter trip. This idea materialized into an architectural masterpiece by Jean Nouvel. The museum was officially opened in March 2019 and is located on the site of the old palace of the Al Thani family. Its design draws inspiration from natural crystal formations found in arid coastal regions, created by the interaction of wind, mist, and sand. The museum reflects Qatar’s geographic and cultural identity.
