This little gem tucked away in an obscure corner of the city has the most amazing permanent gallery looking at the influences and processes of acclaimed middle eastern artists. I could have spent hours and hours here.

Unpretentious and artwork-friendly architecture, excellent exhibitions, welcoming staff. At the moment a bit in the middle of nowhere and the café could be improved
Fine and huge collection of contemporary art. Excellent temporary exhibitions. Definitely worth a visit ! Workshops and courses could be of interest to children and adults ! Don't miss this museum. The conversion of the building into a museum is very interesting and inspirational. Hope it does not relocate in the future.
I spent a lot of time and money trying to find this place. The taxi drivers didn't know where it was and the security guards at nearby Education City either hadn't heard of it or gave very poor directions. I wouldn't recommend the trip out there.
We enjoyed our visit to Mathaf. It's a little hidden away in Education City, and takes a while to find, especially with the lack of signage.

This was such a wonderful experience and the art was amazing. I spent hours just enjoying the wonderful modern art and the whole place is well run by wonderful helpful staff. The perfect thing to do in Doha.
The current exhibition, tea with Nefertiti, is one of the best I've seen in a while. The connection that's being made with historical art and modern art is eye opening. Top piece is the branded vase of Ai Wei Wei. Overall this museum has a big potential and I am looking forward to the next exhibitions
This is a wonderful example of what the Qatar Foundation is doing for Qatar. Great exhibits, easy to get to and wonderful day to spend a few hours.
First of all to reach to this destination was tough. Even the taxi drivers were ignorant of this place. After lots of calls and directions from people, finally reached the museum. Its really far placed from the city. Wasn't intriguing as expected. Sorry to say, but it failed to keep up to the (Hype) Art Lover's propaganda.
The collection is quite impressive and museum is taking a big space in Middle eastern art scene but their biggest problem is location. We spend 2 hours driving around looking for it .
