The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) in Doha, Qatar, is built on an island off an artificial projecting peninsula near the traditional dhow harbor. Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning Chinese American architect I.M. Pei, the museum opened in 2008 and is noted for its vast collection of Islamic art spanning 1300 years. The interior was designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
