Qatar’s National Museum has begun shifting its wide range of collections to the new museum building located at the Doha Corniche.
As reported by The Peninsula, the new building is forged using an interlocking disc design inspired by the desert rose and is uniquely designed by Pritzker Prize-winning French architect, Jean Nouvel.
The first group of 1,500 artefacts were transferred into the new building on June.
It may be mentioned here that the collections and conservation teams worked hand-in-hand to transport the objects into the new, state-of-the-art storage facilities, where the collection will be kept until curatorial fit out begins later this year.
In this regard, Sheikha Amna bint Abdulaziz bin Jassim Al Thani, the director of the National Museum of Qatar, said that the new building comes as a major milestone in the development of the National Museum of Qatar, adding that the collection will begin its journey to its new home from various locations in Doha.
