Is there anywhere in Doha to see modern Arabic/Islamic art?
Yesterday, I spent a very enjoyable and informative time at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, including seeing how the various styles of artwork developed over the centuries.
After that, I'm interested to see how modern Arabic and Islamic artists are taking those things forward.
Is there somewhere in the centre of Doha where I can see such modern art? It needn't have a building quite as impressive as the MIA has (photo below), but given how hard it is to find a taxi in Doha, something nearby would be great!
