The 80,000 square meter center for World Culture will house a library, a four-gallery museum, learning center, cafes and gift shops and more.
“Fondly referred to as iThra in the Kingdom (meaning enrichment in Arabic) our institution will house a world-class library, archives, a lifelong learning center, youth enrichment and innovation programs, a four-gallery museum and children’s museum, a wide variety of permanent and visiting exhibits, live events and multimedia venues, along with cafes, gift shops, and much more, designed to both inspire and entertain.”
