The Jeddah Sculpture Museum, situated along the picturesque Corniche, showcases over twenty of Jeddah's renowned sculptures. Many of these sculptures, once prominent landmarks in the city, have endured extensive damage over the years due to exposure to natural elements, relentless winds, and the corrosive salt from the sea. To preserve their historical significance and enhance their prominence, a thoughtful decision was made to restore these sculptures to their former glory by housing them in an expansive open-air museum. This museum spans a seven-square-kilometer park along the Jeddah Corniche, fondly known as 'Al Hamraa.'
Adjacent to this open-air museum, an impressive collection of around 400 sculptures is curated in another museum. Here, visitors can admire major works by acclaimed international artists like Henry Moore, Joan Miro, Alexander Calder, and many others. The sculpture collection is truly one of the world's most extensive and focused on public art, encompassing a captivating array of styles ranging from traditional Arabic designs to abstract and monumental masterpieces.
