Jeddah Sculpture Museum

Jeddah Sculpture Museum is an open air museum, housing around 20 of prominent sculptures range from traditional Arabic designs by local artists to more abstract ones created by famous international artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miro and Alexander Calder, among others, in a seven square kilometre! Those sculptures in Jeddah have been exposed to the natural elements, strong winds and the salt of the sea and had suffered extensive damage over the last few decades. Therefore, the decision was taken to not only restore them to their former glory but also to increase their prominence by creating an open-air museum, along the Jeddah Corniche, known locally as ‘Al Hamraa’.
