For a quirky art-in-action experience, visit this small museum in the suburbs. Reputedly, 77 tons of mirror and 102 tons of white cement were used to create the mosaics that spangle the entire house. The creation of Lidia Al Qattan, the project was inspired by the decoration of an old piece of dining-room furniture and grew to incorporate epic scenes, as in the Room of the Universe (bedroom) and the Basin of the Sharks (hallway). Ring ahead to request a tour.
