Msheireb Museums, Heritage museum complex in Msheireb Downtown, Doha, Qatar.
Msheireb Museums is a complex of four restored heritage houses from the 20th century, each presenting different aspects of Qatari history. Every house focuses on a specific theme and displays exhibitions along with historical artifacts from the region.
These houses were built in the early 20th century as residences for wealthy merchants and their families. They were later extensively renovated to preserve their traditional architecture and open them to the public as a museum.
The Bin Jelmood House presents exhibitions about slavery in the Indian Ocean region, while the Company House documents Qatar's petroleum industry development. These houses tell different stories about the region's life and economy.
The complex is open Monday through Saturday and offers guided tours for individuals, groups, and school parties. It is advisable to allow plenty of time to explore all four houses and their exhibitions at a comfortable pace.
The Mohammed Bin Jassim House contains information about sustainable architecture, while the Radwani House shows how traditional Qatari families lived in their homes. These personal details give visitors insight into daily life from about a century ago.
