Doha, July 2017 — I have just returned from my trip to Qatar, my second visit to Doha.
After ten years, I visited the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar this summer, where I worked in 2007 as a paper conservator. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life and certainly the most rewarding in terms of what I learned about the world.
At that time, the museum was still under construction and existed only as an empty space. Today, I was finally able to see it open to the public.
