You might know AlUla for its incredible landscapes and ancient sites, but soon, it’s going to be a must-see destination for art lovers too. A Contemporary Art Museum is on the way, and it’ll be built under the palms of AlUla’s oasis. Even before the official opening, there are big plans to engage with audiences through exhibitions, artist residencies, and research projects.
The museum plans to have more than just finished artworks. Alongside completed pieces, it will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, with early concepts, private sketches, and archives. You’ll get to experience the full journey of the artist, from the first idea to the final product.
With its art initiatives, AlUla is quickly becoming a center of creativity. Last year, creative campus Villa Hegra opened in the heart of the city. It features artist studios, a performing arts studio, an indoor cinema, and educational spaces.
If you’re into art or looking for something new to experience in AlUla, the Contemporary Art Museum project is definitely worth keeping an eye on. And if you’re planning a visit to this part of Saudi Arabia soon, be sure to check out our guide to the best things to do in AlUla.
