The National Museum of Qatar is a museum currently under construction, located across from the Corniche in the Qatari capital Doha.

It was originally scheduled to open in 2016 but its opening was pushed back to 28 March 2019.The new under-construction National Museum of Qatar features an innovative design by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel that is inspired by the desert rose and grows organically around the original 20th century palace of Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jassim Al Thani. The historic Palace was restored by Berlin-based Architecture and Engineering firm ZRS Architekten Ingenieure. This important monument to Qatar’s past is now preserved as the heart of the new NMoQ.

The 430,000 square feet museum is created by a series of interlocking discs that create cavities to protect visitors from the desert heat. Located on a 1.5 million-square-foot site at the south end of Doha’s Corniche, the NMoQ building will rise from the sea and will be connected to shore by two pedestrian bridges and a vehicular bridge.
