Lusail Museum
Lusail Museum is a global think tank and a world-class art museum that aims to serve as a platform for diplomacy while providing a setting for discourse on the historic and contemporary relationships, exchanges, and influences between cultures. The building is designed to be an engaging public destination with spaces for exhibition, education, research, art preservation and public events. Located on Al Maha Island in Lusail – the home of the Founder of Qatar, Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani – the museum will act as a local cultural anchor with a global voice. The site is a man-made island shaped by topography and an indigenous landscape. Our master plan has been developed to bring together diverse but complementary programs located throughout this landscape, creating an ‘ecosystem’ that can grow and change over time. Walled gardens placed throughout act as counter points to the more arid landscape, enriching the visitor experience. The museum itself occupies the southern tip of the island, acting as a physical marker within the island. The precise geometric form of the building is both specific and universal – a truncated sphere, seemingly partially buried in the earth.
