Qatar unveiled on Tuesday its landmark Museum of Islamic Art after an 18-month renovation ahead of the World Cup in a bid to be a "showcase" for the Arab world.
"We are the biggest Museum of Islamic Art in this region ... and we are in the middle of the Arab world," said museum director Julia Gonnella.
