The under-construction National Museum of Qatar is starting to shape up, as seen from this aerial shot taken by Ray Toh.

Architect Jean Nouvel has designed the complex to reflect the natural phenomenon of the desert rose, with expanses of interlocking discs.

Qatar Museums began giving sneak peek tours to some people in April, but has not set a new opening date after falling behind on previous estimates.
