  In the 1970s, Jeddah’s mayor authorized the purchase of more than 400 sculptures, including major works by Henry Moore, Joan Miro and Alexander Calder. Art Jameel, in collaboration with Jeddah Municipality, created an open-air sculpture museum, showcasing 20 of the works in a seven square kilometer park. 

• Museum of Home Art  

  

  This 5,000-square-meter once private home has been converted into a museum complete with rare antiques and vintage furniture. 

• Al-Balad 

  

  Although many of these museums are located within the UNESCO World Heritage site, walking the streets of Al-Balad is like stepping back in time in an open air museum.
