We are excited to announce that this multi-sensory exhibition taking place at the Western Hajj Terminal in Jeddah will remain open until May 23.
Curated by a world class team of experts across the fields of architecture, archaeology and anthropology, the Islamic Arts Biennale is a first-of-its kind exhibition that conveys a holistic perspective of the Islamic arts as a living tradition that connects past, present, and future.
KAUST is an official partner for this event and has organized a series of workshops in partnership with Diriyah Biennale Foundation, to further foster the art ecosystem in the Kingdom.

Bus Transportation to Islamic Arts Biennale (January 28, 2-7 pm) intersects with the “Pianos and Picnics” (January 28, 5-7 pm). People need to choose between them.
“Immerse in the rhythm and legacy of Saudi Arabia’s musical heritage at “Beauty and Grace,” a union of music and visual art presented by the National Orchestra and Choir at the #IslamicArtsBiennale. Join us February 4 at 8pm”
Is it possible to do something with the bus to assist to this event on Saturday?
Dear Javier, the bus timing has been decided keeping in mind the afternoon programming at the Biennale. We hope that you will be able to arrange other transport. We have buses back to KAUST from Mall of Arabia and Red Sea Mall later that night. Please see off campus bus schedules here – https://communitylife.kaust.edu.sa/services/bus-services
It was so great, to visit Biennale, thank you for this opportunity. Can you make the same trip, but for a longer time? Because 1,5 hours it is not enough for this place.
