The museum cooperates with the famous Louvre Museum in Paris, which is the most visited museum in the world. The museum's architecture was designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel and combines modern architecture with Arabic building tradition. The building complex consists of 55 rectangular buildings, among which there are water basins. The rectangular buildings are arranged next to each other as well as on top of each other. As a highlight, a net-like dome was stretched over them. It consists of 8,000 metal stars through which the sun's rays radiate onto the underlying building and water. This creates a special atmosphere inside the museum.
