UK based Click Netherfield has been responsible for showcasing at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar.
Housing a vast collection of Islamic art, the museum is said to take the visitor on a magical journey across cultures and through time with over 800 exhibits spanning three continents and 1300 years.
These stories contained inside are wide ranging and imposing from room size silk tapestries and carpets to an exquisite Indian Jade pendant (1631) belonging to Shah Jahan, who created the Taj Mahal as a tribute to his wife.
Fragile manuscripts on display include one of the rarest and earliest versions of the Qu'ran to survive, possibly written within decades of the death of the Prophet Muhammed.
Mike Chaplin, Technical Director at Click Netherfield, described the project as the largest project they had ever undertaken with some of the largest cases ever constructed. Complex designs were required to ensure the illusion of transparency was achieved, with some cases standing up to almost 5m in height.
The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha is the latest in a series of ambitious projects that Click Netherfield has completed in the Middle East.
