New York based architects Rafael Viñoly have unveiled plans for the Museum of Modern Arab Art in Doha, Qatar.
The museum will house over 10,000 articles from the collection of Sheikh Hassan Bin Mohammed Al-Thani.
The collection, ranging from abstract paintings to the earliest Qur’anic manuscripts, will expand as the museum acquires work from contemporary Arabian artists.
The 33,000 square metre project is due to be completed in 2011.
