MIA Park, a new cultural destination in Qatar
QATAR Museums Authority (QMA) plans to open the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Park, a new cultural destination on the Corniche, for public on December 16.
Located on the premises of the world-renowned Museum of Islamic Art, the nearly 280,000- sqm, crescent-shaped park is designed by Pei Partnership Architects of New York.
It will feature a vertical steel sculpture by internationally acclaimed American artist Richard Serra.
The yet-to-be-titled sculpture is Serra’s first public artwork in the Middle East.
Details of the MIA Park’s grand opening and related public events will be announced later.
