11 June 2013 Pouri Medi Akram 8306 Arts & Entertainment, Museums Mathaf Museum THE LARGEST PRIVATE ART COLLECTION IN QATARFree for students, the museum opens from 11.30am. Closes on Mondays.The museums that everyone talks about are the Museum of Islamic Art and the new National museum due for completion Dec 2014, the architecture designed by Jean Nouvel.The largest art collector in Qatar, is HE Hassan Ali Al Thani and he is the one who has shared his wonderful collection with the people of Qatar. His collection was donated to QF and is now housed in the Mathaf.It is a peaceful gallery and the painting of the Emir are worth a visit if just to see those.The exhibitions are interesting and I like it here the most of all the museums in Doha. It tells a story of our history and culture in art and I feel it brings me to my home.The exhibits are spread over thousands of square feet, much of the collection is not on display until the new museum is completed and the whole collection can be shown in a new space.
