The MIA is a great building. IM Pei used the design for his earlier work, the Suzhou Museum in China, as the basis of his design. The MIA is basically a much larger and grander (but still almost identical) copy of this building. There were some people who originally tried to claim IM Pei was inspired by Islamic design, but sadly this isn't quite true. He just copied his Chinese Museum.

Doha is lucky to have such a nice building.
