Qatar has a 2,000 year old history of pearl trading! At one point in the late 19th century, over 95% of income garnered by natives of the Arabian gulf region was generated by the pearl-diving industry, which exported to every corner of the world. The @nmoqatar showcases this unique heritage with a lavish wing dedicated to showcasing the region and the world's most iconic pieces of jewellery. #QatarCreates #LiveItAll #Art #Museum #Exhibition #History #Jewellery #Pearls
