The Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Complex is a 13 hectare site in the Al-Sha'ab area on the Western shore. It will house four world-class Museums, a Fine Art's Centre, a theatre and two Information Centres, with the facilities being linked by a central covered 'street' allowing visitors and residents to pass through the site from the city to the seashore of the Arabian Gulf. The museums will cover Natural History, Science, Space, Islam and Fine Arts. With a total exhibit area of approximately 22,000m2 it makes the project the largest single-delivery museum project in the World at the current time. The project will be set in a rich landscape offering a setting for external exhibits and a wide range of public realm and facilities.
