You can't miss this, particularly if you enjoy architecture. Msheireb is the key state sponsored urban renewal development project. It's a world class project with impressive adoption of modern green building and historical Qatari design practices. The interactive displays do a remarkable job telling the project and Qatar's development narrative.

I thought this was going to be more of a place to learn about Qatari culture and history, really it is a glorified presentation of a real estate development in downtown. They do have a pretty high tec to scale model that is lite below from a screen.

This is an interesting place to walk through. They have some good information about Doha 60 years ago. Unfortunately, there is a big gap in the history presented with a sudden jump to 1994. We would have liked to have seen more information in the middle.
