Doha Museum of Islamic Art (MIA)
 

Hello forum, I am Horsa the Anglo-Saxon - collector of Islamic arms, armour and art, and their European equivalents.

I'm mainly into maces, warhammers and axes.

Recently I visited Doha MIA and I have photos to share of this excellent, world class art collection. Fantastic art and a first class building too!

I took some photos while there.

Cheers!
Horsa

nice pics. That Emperor Shah Jahans dagger must be worth millions. I heard one was sold in an auction for a large amount. It might be this one.

Wonderful examples.

Thanks for the great images!!! I think there are a few missing ones (war mask?).

Absolutely! Here are the rest:

Excellent, thanks for posting :)

Salaams all~ The monumental and fantastic building is also matched in their gigantic Museum Catalogue which I just happen to have ... Half the publication which is lined with silk is committed to the new Museums architecture in its own right ~ It is fabulous... :shrug:
