Qatar's new museum

If you happen to be driving through the desert near Doha, Qatar and notice an unusual number of Bentleys and Ferraris parked in front of a sand dune, you may find you're actually looking at the Museum of Modern Arab Art, a two-level, air-conditioned 350,000-square-foot facility celebrating over 10,000 works of art.

From a fairly flippant article in Gizmodo, which nonetheless has some nice renderings of the new museum building and links to the official Qatari government cultural heritage site.
