The Art Mill Museum

The Art Mill Museum completes a cultural district that already includes the Museum of Islamic Art, MIA Park, and the National Museum of Qatar. It will house an exceptional and international art collection gathered over the past 40 years, with multidisciplinary works of enormous diversity dating from 1850 to the present. The Art Mill Museum will feature iconic works of visual art together with architecture and design, films and film props, fashion, crafts, and much more in a primary structure that is 80,000 square meters in size. It will represent modern and contemporary art from all over the world equally as a pioneering institution in the non-Western world, engaging both domestic and foreign audiences with a variety of art historical narratives.
