Venue
National Museum of Saudi Arabia
The National Museum of Saudi Arabia, located in the Al-Murabba district within the King Abdulaziz Historical Centre in Riyadh, stands as one of the Kingdom’s most significant cultural landmarks. Officially inaugurated in January 1999 to commemorate the centennial of the recapture of Riyadh, the museum embodies the nation’s historical depth and cultural evolution. Designed by the Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama, the museum’s architecture harmoniously blends modern design principles with symbolic elements reflecting the desert landscape and heritage of the Arabian Peninsula. Inside, the museum offers a chronological journey through the region’s history from prehistoric artefacts and ancient Arabian kingdoms to the rise of Islam and the foundation of the modern Saudi state. Each gallery is thoughtfully curated to convey the rich narrative of the Kingdom’s formation, identity, and global influence. Beyond its impressive permanent collections, the museum also serves as a dynamic centre for cultural education, regularly hosting lectures, workshops, and temporary exhibitions. More than a repository of artefacts, the National Museum of Saudi Arabia stands as a testament to the country’s vision of preserving its heritage while inspiring future generations.
