Which tiny Middle Eastern country's national museum is located in this magnificent structure designed by French architect Jean Nouvel?
Answer Qatar
Nouvel's delicate - yet massive, at 361,861 square feet - building somewhat resembles an exquisitely balanced house of cards. The revolutionary design was the architect's response to his client's top request: that he create a structure that embodied Qatari identity. NBD, right? Nouvel found his inspiration in the "desert rose", a rose-like formation of crystal clusters that form in Qatar's salty sand.
