Overtones, rock'n'roll and funny hats!

I discovered punky Chinese-Mongolian folk band Hanggai at this year's Womad Abu Dhabi - very cool!

Last look at exhibition

A last look at the museum collections...

Amazing artefacts

I really don't have enough superlatives for the collections and their presentation - and you know by now I care about museums and exhibition production!

Mosaics

Exquisite mosaic works too.

Bowls and vessels

Some of these, finely lit, brass pieces really caught my eye.

Jewellery

Exquisite jewellery pieces on display.

Exhibits

Beautiful glass mosque lamps.

Carpets

They showed some magnificent and enormous carpets.

Armoury!

Magnificent Turkish armour, for rider and horse.

Collections

The modernist almost austere exterior contrasted wildly with the exhibitions, but very nicely presented collections (I like well-done museum productions). You can also visit the museum online here.

Woodwork

Walking through the collections, first a look at some intricate woodwork pieces - specially for my husband!

Entering the museum

The very stylish aestethically clean entrance hall.

The Doha museum

One of the landmarks of Doha nowadays is the beautiful Islamic Arts Museum.

Doha

Earlier this year, my schedule also included a visit to Doha.
