CULTURE'S COLOSSAL NEW WAVE

摘要

A year and a half after the Louvre Abu Dhabi opened, the Gulf is getting another Jean Nouvel landmark-the National Museum of Qatar. Spread across more than 36 acres, the museum, which officially opens in Doha on March 28, contains 560,000 square feet of galleries, conservation space, theaters, educational facilities, and restaurants. "As you walk through the different volumes, you never know what's coming next," Nouvel said in a statement. "The idea was to create contrasts, spring surprises."
