On the occasion of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and the year-round national cultural movement Qatar Creates, Qatar Museums will present the special exhibition Art Mill Museum 2030, on view to the public from October 24 through March 30, 2023 at the Qatar Flour Mills Warehouse and the recently renovated Al Najada Heritage House #15 in Doha.
Looking ahead towards the opening of the Art Mill Museum Matahen Alfan in 2030, the exhibition will introduce the concept of the museum, the architectural project by Elemental, led by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alejandro Aravena, and the garden design, the QM has said in a statement.
Completing a cultural district that already comprises the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), MIA Park and the National Museum of Qatar, the Art Mill Museum will house an "exceptional and international art collection assembled over the past 40 years, with multidisciplinary works of great diversity dating from 1850 to the present."
In the main building of 80,000sqm (including 23,000 sqm of gallery spaces), the Art Mill Museum will offer visual art icons as well as architecture and design, films and film props, fashion, crafts, and much more.
