In 2021, the Saudi Arabian Museum Commission unveiled a visionary strategy aimed at revolutionising the museum sector in the nation. This strategy encompasses ambitious plans that go beyond mere expansion, focusing on both increasing the quantity and diversifying the range of museums across the entire Kingdom.

As the nation moves closer to 2030, the strategic implementation of the pillars of Vision 2030 come to the fore. With this in mind, the preservation of historical artefacts and cultural heritage sites and articles plays an important role in the creation and development of a vibrant society, and acknowledging and respecting our historical and cultural past, and the international significance of the Kingdom's heritage.

In tandem with Vision 2030 and the Museum Commission's strategy, the ultimate goal is to draw in a larger number of visitors while concurrently enriching and fortifying the nation's cultural identity. This transformative approach is set to leave a lasting impact on the Kingdom's cultural landscape and significantly contribute to its heritage and identity.
