The black granite pier designed for the Serra sculpture—a monolithic chamfered parallelogram—extends from the end of a palm-lined allée, forming a majestic backdrop to the museum. From this vantage point, visitors are treated to panoramic views of Doha Bay and the city’s rapidly transforming skyline. The pier cantilevers 249 feet over the water, creating a powerful tension between its horizontality and the verticality of the sculpture.

On the top floor, Idam, Chef Alain Ducasse’s first restaurant in the Middle East, occupies a new dining space and terrace. Oversized stainless-steel peak doors, low-iron glass panels, and Hauteville French limestone preserve the geometry and material palette of the original museum. At the same time, the space offers a new experience and new views of the city skyline.
