A good local history museum. One of the advantages is the beautiful modern architecture of the building, interesting in itself, a very cool collection of jewelry, including the Hohenzollern and Spencer tiaras, a modern form of presentation of the exposition. It's only worth going for the jewelry. Otherwise, it is a regional museum of local lore with a good presentation of the material. You will find out how people lived here before they discovered oil and gas. Spoiler alert - we didn't live well. I visited the museum, I do not regret it and generally recommend it.

At the end of Ramadan, our friend, guide and photographer Olga invited us to visit the National Museum of Qatar so that we could immerse ourselves in the historical component of this young state. We arrived here by 16:00 by metro, the station is called “National Museum” (golden line). A ticket for non-residents costs = 50 QAR (~1165 rubles), and for locals = free. It is considered the main museum of Qatar and we can say with good reason that it is very modern and quite technologically advanced. Our guide told us that architect Jean Nouvel designed this architectural marvel, consisting of 500 fiber-reinforced concrete discs, shaped and colored like a crystal "rose in the desert" stone. The museum contains the entire history of the country, starting from 4000 BC. I liked it, but a lot of space is empty. Put in at least 3 hours for everything about everything!

A mind-blowing structure, both from an aesthetic, architectural and engineering point of view, the building captures the intricate shapes from the outside, the flooring is also not bad, there are interactive stands where children can play.
