UK Science Museum Group Expands into Saudi Arabia
[ad_1]
The UK Science Museum Group partners with Saudi Arabia to establish a museums hub in Riyadh, fostering collaboration and cultural exchange. The agreement builds on a cultural memorandum of understanding signed by the UK and Saudi Arabia in 2022, aiming to strengthen ties between the two nations. The Science Museum Group sees the potential to support positive change and reform in Saudi Arabia through science engagement and the development of a sustainable museums sector. This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to rebrand itself as a cultural destination, despite its past reputation. The project complements similar cultural initiatives in the region, such as the Centre Pompidou’s development of a contemporary art museum in the AlUla region.
