This collective catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition "A Falcon's Eye" at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) in Doha.
The book introduces Sheikh Saoud as the passionate visionary who laid the foundation of the collections at Qatar Museums. The show unveils his far-reaching interests which include the natural sciences, antiquities, gems and jewels, paintings, decorative arts and photography.
Several photographs of Sheikh Saoud taken by François-Marie Banier were borrowed for the exhibition and published in the catalog.
