The National Museum, which opened in Riyadh in 1999 to Saudi
celebrate the centenary of Saudi unification, was the result of an
international design competition. The primary custodian of the
national heritage and culture, the Museum is a place of learning
and discovery, designed to sing out with quiet excitement and
inspiration, to kindle pride in the Arab heritage and reverence for
Islam. This national Landmark is composed of eight galleries telling
the complete story of Arabian History from the creation of the
universe to our modern era |
