The National Museum of Qatar is built around a historic structure, the Fariq Al Salatah Palace, built by the His Highness late Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jassim Al-Thani as his residence and seat of government. The Palace was renovated in 1975 as Qatar’s National Museum. The museum is prominently located at the south end of Doha’s Corniche, where it will be the first monument seen by travelers arriving from the airport. Design Highlights: The design takes the form of a ring of low-lying, interlocking pavilions, which encircle a large courtyard area (The caravanserai) and the historic palace. In its organization, the building suggests the image of a caravanserai the traditional enclosed resting palace that supported the flow of commerce, information and people across desert trade routes and so gives concrete expression to the identity of a nation in movement. The building also suggests the image of undulating, wind-swept dunes, rising at their apex to four stories in height. Qatar National Museum is built on approx. 150,000 m² of land that lies at the southern tip of Doha Bay. The site consist of 2 plots separated by the existing Al Muthaf Road, “ MUTAF” is Arabic for museum and the road was thus named because the original Qatar National Museum lies on the northern plot and will be preserved and incorporated in the planned museum.
