Things I will change:

- add missing art pieces from Hamad International Airport

- link the names of the artists to their own Wikipedia pages

- there are some art pieces that are already mentioned but are either missing the artists name or missing the link to the artists Wikipedia page so I will be adding that as well

- some of the art pieces that are mentioned are not named properly so I will edit that as well

- there is a mix up in terms of putting the artists name first instead of linking it to the art pieces itself so I will change that are include it within the description of the art piece

- one of the art pieces at Hamad International Airport is mentioned twice already on the Wikipedia page but under different names so I will edit that

- I will also add images of the art pieces from the HIA website

5 sentences that I will add:

- Untitled is an art piece by Rudolf Stingel which is located in the Arrivals Meet and Greet Hall in the West of Hamad International Airport. The art piece is made up of three surfaces that were covered with reflective aluminium panels. Before the opening of the airport, the artist asked members of the construction team to draw on these three surfaces. Later on, the artist cast the three surfaces in copper and then coated it with gold.

- A Message of Peace to the World is an art piece by the Iraqi artist Ahmed Al Bahrani which is located in the Passenger Train's South Node station. This art piece was inspired by the work of Reach Out to Asia, which is a non-profit organisation in Qatar that aims to support primary and secondary education in countries in Asia that are underprivileged. The art piece is inspired by their logo and by their efforts.

- Flying Man is an art piece by the Iraqi artist Dia Al-Azzawi which is located in the East and West ends, in the Arrivals Meet and Greet Hall. The art piece consists of two sculptures that are based on the story of a historical figure, Abu Firnas. Abu Firnas is one of the first Muslim pioneers to test out flying. The inspiration behind the two art sculptures is the pillars that were in Mesopotamia, which was an ancient region.
