I.M. Pei's final masterpiece! Museum of Islamic Art on the sea

[🌟Why is it worth visiting?] ❶ A comeback work by the master architect I.M. Pei at the age of 91, blending thousands of years of Islamic civilization with modern minimalist aesthetics ❷ Built on an isolated reclaimed island in the Persian Gulf, the pure white geometric palace and the blue sea and sky create a visual feast ❸ It houses artistic treasures spanning 1,400 years, from Spain to China's Islamic civilization corridor ▫️ Giant dome: Use modern steel structure to interpret the traditional mosque dome, and the light and shadow travel on the wall with time ▫️ Symmetrical aesthetics: Geometric cutting accurate to the millimeter, a healing paradise for obsessive-compulsive disorder patients ▫️ Light and shadow magic: Double-layer glass curtain wall + hollow carving, you must see the "Waterfall of Light" spectacle at 3pm [📸Photo Guide] ✔️ Location 1: Corridor bridge silhouette ✔️ Location 2: Shoot upwards from the spiral staircase (wide-angle lens) 🖤There are many beautiful angles in the museum, and you can take very beautiful photos with a casual shot! ✔️ Dress: Light-colored long skirt + ethnic accessories, perfectly echoing the architectural lines [💌Travel Tips] ⏰ Time: Check the "golden hour" in advance, the building will turn into a honey color 🚌 Transportation: About 15 minutes by Uber from the city center, remember to take a picture of the night view of the sea on the return trip 📚 Hidden gameplay: There is an exhibition of Pei's design drafts + Arabic coffee experience on the negative floor
