The National Museum of Qatar, set to open in December 2018, has released new images of its readymade icon designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel. Iwan Baan's photos capture, from near and afar, the blade-like petals inspired by the desert rose and the new building's relationship to Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani’s original palace.
The National Museum of Qatar was one of our 18 for '18 — 18 important buildings set to be completed by the end of the year.
