National Museum of Qatar

Highlight in Doha ist das Nationalmuseum. Der Bau alleine, der an eine Wüste Rose erinnern soll, ist schon sehr beeindruckend. Aber die Ausstellungsräume darin sind absolut überragend. Nach über zwei Stunden (inkl. Powernap auf bequemen Sitzsäcken) sind wir viel schlauer, aber auch reizüberflutet und brauchen eine Pause.

"The story of Qatar unfolds across 11 striking galleries, all employing innovative narrative approaches. Each gallery provides a unique perspective across time and connects visitors to the experiences of the Qatari people between land and sea. All the senses are engaged through a creative combination of sights, sounds and even evocative aromas. Several of the galleries feature films by distinguished international directors who were commissioned to create living, immersive experiences. Produced by the Doha Film Institute, the films are projected at immense scale and with hypnotic clarity against the curving walls of the galleries, making the physical walls dissolve into moving spectacles of light, sound and image."Read more
