A SYMBOL OF PRIDE, A SPARK OF INNOVATION

The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture is a dynamic and state-of-the-art institution that inspires a passion for learning, creativity, volunteerism and cross-cultural engagement. The Center is the result of a monumental, forward-thinking Saudi Aramco initiative that exemplifies the company’s commitment to the Kingdom and its communities. Dedicated to honouring Arab heritage, connecting Saudis to their culture and bringing world cultures to the Kingdom, the Center aspires to be a powerful stimulus for developing new ideas, perspectives and relationships. The Center is being constructed atop the oil-rich Dammam Dome, making it both a national landmark that commemorates Saudi Arabia’s first discovery of oil and a leading educational and cultural institution. The Center will open to the public in 2012 with a full schedule of exhibits, programs and events.

PURPOSE AND VISION

The Center will offer an array of exhibits, events and learning tools that engage and educate students, adults and scholars. Individually, these experiences will enable visitors to develop their potential as human beings; collectively, they will help Saudi society to succeed in an increasingly globalized world. By educating visitors about yesterday’s challenges and achievements, and exciting them about tomorrow’s possibilities, the Center will enrich lives and accelerate future accomplishments.
