"'The sculptures here are not just objects to be looked at or admired from a distance. The public are invited to engage physically with the sculptures. They can sit or climb on the works and we're very excited to introduce this new dynamic.'"
"'This edition is very special because of the variety of mediums. There is not only stone this year, so there is metal and there is steel mixed with granite as well.'"
The 2026 Tuwaiq Sculpture exhibition redefines monuments in Saudi Arabia by introducing interactive sculptures that encourage public engagement.
