RIYADH: People have been anxious to see what Asaan, the Misk Heritage Museum, will showcase after Princess Sara bint Mashour announced its construction in February this year.
On the sidelines of the Misk Global Forum 2025 on Wednesday, Arab News got a sneak peek into the museum’s architecture and design, and the interactive role that the Kingdom’s youngsters are expected to play in it once the doors open.
Asaan’s CEO Khaled Al-Saqer said the museum will host five permanent exhibitions and two temporary ones, and added: “We are making very good progress to showcase our Saudi heritage collection, dating back hundreds of years.”
The building itself is being designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects and will showcase traditional Najdi-style architecture.
The museum plans to display artwork from a mix of different styles, spotlighting the diversity of Saudi heritage, Al-Saqer added.
