Mohammed bin Jassim House - Msheireb Museums
Overview:
- In this house we travel back in time to appreciate Doha’s history and its unique architectural heritage.
- Built by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Jassim Al-Thani, son of the founder of modern Qatar, this heritage house addresses the past, the present and the sustainable aspect on which Msheireb Downtown Doha is based.
- The museum houses the Echo Memory Art Project using objects uncovered during excavation work on the site.
- We discover, through a tour of the Mohammed bin Jassim House, how the historic heart of Doha was reborn in a way that combines the spirit and aesthetics of Qatari architecture with contemporary technology and the latest developments in the field of sustainability. It will also enable us to look comprehensively at the architecture of the “Msheireb Downtown Doha” project that stems from the heritage origins of the community.
- By visiting this house, we will also be able to get acquainted with the stories of the residents of Msheireb and hear their conversations about the facilities that were built for the first time, such as the hotel, bank, pharmacy and cafes. Finally, the House of Mohammed bin Jassim reviews the challenges that the State of Qatar has faced in order to maintain a balance between the requirements of contemporary life and Qatari heritage and culture.
