The Ithra Museum is home to four galleries, respectively dedicated to contemporary Middle Eastern Art, Saudi culture, Islamic art, and the natural history of the Arabian Peninsula.
With each gallery focusing on a specific theme, the Museum invites conversation igniting new ideas and new forms of cultural expression. With a focus on knowledge and innovation, the galleries aim to enrich the visitor experience by offering interactive technology alongside historical and cultural learning, to bridge the past and present.
Ithra Museum combines the power of interactive exhibitions, insightful lectures, and specialized tours to deliver an enriched and transformative experience.
The Museum provides temporary exhibitions, collections on loan via partnerships, and an ever-growing assortment of artwork and artifacts representing the world’s richest cultures, including the Kingdom and beyond. At the center of the Museum is Ithra’s spiritual heart, the “Source of Light”, a towering 90-foot high masterpiece by Italian master Giuseppe Penone representing the symbolic site where commercial oil was first discovered in the Kingdom; a nod to Ithra’s mission to tap into human energy.
