Jeddah: The Red Sea Museum in Historic Jeddah is hosting a contemporary artistic exhibition that explores the Red Sea's marine richness by connecting its geological origins, dating back to the Eocene epoch, with natural history and artistic expression.
According to Saudi Press Agency, through a series of sculptures and installations, the exhibition showcases the region's vast biodiversity, from microorganisms to large mammals. The works emphasize the Red Sea's resilient coral reefs, thriving in warm, high-salinity waters, while delivering powerful environmental messages on the urgency of reef protection and ecological sustainability.
The collection features diverse media, including rare black coral crafts and textiles that evoke underwater textures. These pieces complement the museum's permanent collection of over 1,000 artifacts, reinforcing the Kingdom's commitment to preserving its cultural and environmental heritage through modern, immersive displays.
