New interactive art museum attracts more than 50,000 visitors to Jeddah

TeamLab Borderless Jeddah is the first permanent TeamLab museum to open in the Middle East

TeamLab Borderless Jeddah, a collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and art collective TeamLab, has brought more than 52,500 visitors to Jeddah Historic District since its opening in June 2024.

TeamLab Borderless Jeddah is the first permanent TeamLab museum to open in the Middle East, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy more than 80 interactive, digital artworks across a 10,000-square-metre space.

The attraction comprises innovative artworks that "move out of rooms, communicate with other works, influence each other, and at times intermingle, without boundaries", say the curators. 

The TeamLab Borderless Jeddah project is one of the Quality of Life Programme’s initiatives to develop a cultural exhibition infrastructure to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s contribution to art in the lead up to 2030.
