The Lina Ghotmeh-designed AlUla Contemporary Art Museum will open at the AlUla culture and heritage site in northwest Saudi Arabia.

The museum will collect across artists' careers and digitize archives for public exhibition and researcher access. The AlUla site includes the World Heritage Site of Hegra, a Nabatean tomb complex.
