Contents
Msheireb Museums are an integral aspect of the inner city's regeneration of the old commercial centre with its traditional community-based lifestyle. The restoration of the four heritage houses, Bin Jelmood House, Company House, Mohammed Bin Jassim House and Radwani House, into world-class museums forms a vital part of the Msheireb Downtown Doha development.
The Msheireb Museums are situated in the first phase of what is the Heritage Quarter of Msheireb Properties’ huge QR20 billion (US$5.5 billion), 310,000 sq m development.
Houses
Bin Jelmood House charts the history of the global slave trade, particularly in the Indian Ocean region, and the changes caused by its abolition.
Company House, tells the story of the pioneering petroleum industry workers and their families whose work helped to transform Qatar.
Mohammed Bin Jassim House was built by the son of the founder of the state of Qatar and its reconstruction focuses on the past, present and sustainable elements of the vast Msheireb site. It also houses the Echo Memory Art Project using objects uncovered during demolition of the site.
Radwani House, which was first built in the 1920s, can see how everyday family life in Qatar has evolved over the centuries, through pivotal moments such as the discovery of oil and the arrival of electricity.
Location
Msheireb Museums are located on Mohammed Bin Jassim Street, Doha, Qatar (adjacent to the Aimiri Diwan).
