The teamLab Borderless Museum in Jeddah is located in Historic Jeddah as a collaboration between the Saudi Ministry of Culture and the teamLab international artistic group under the initiatives of the Quality of Life Program, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Thursday.

The program is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, aiming to bring a qualitative addition to the cultural scene in the Kingdom.

The museum combines arts, technology, and nature in an innovative, creative space. It features about 80 independent and interconnected works, creating a world without borders. One of its notable spaces is the "Borderless World," where visitors can learn about the world through their bodies.

Covering an area of approximately 10,000 square meters, the Borderless Museum is the first teamLab museum launched in the Middle East.

It is permanently situated on the banks of Lake Al-Arbaeen, offering panoramic views of Historic Jeddah, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site.

This teamLab project is part of the initiative to develop the infrastructure of cultural exhibitions, which is in line with the efforts to increase cultural offerings in the Kingdom.

Saudi Culinary Arts Commission Signs New Partnership to Expand Global Presence

The Culinary Arts Commission has announced a strategic partnership with the international organization Sirha Food to enhance the presence of Saudi culinary culture at international events and competitions focused on the culinary arts.
Under this partnership, the Kingdom will host regional selection competitions for both the Bocuse d'Or competition and the Pastry World Cup for the Middle East in 2025.

According to SPA, this marks a significant step in the development of the Kingdom’s culinary arts sector, as these prestigious competitions aim to discover the best talents in the region, providing chefs with the opportunity to compete on the global stage and offering Saudi chefs a platform to showcase their skills internationally.
The collaboration between the Culinary Arts Commission and Sirha Food includes participation in the finals of the Pastry World Cup and the Bocuse d'Or World Final, as well as the Sirha exhibition, set to take place in Lyon, France, in January 2025.
The partnership builds on the existing collaboration between the commission and Sirha Food, which previously resulted in the organization of the Sirha Arabia exhibition in Riyadh.
CEO of the Culinary Arts Commission Mayada Badr stated that the collaboration with Sirha Food represents a pivotal step toward advancing the culinary arts in the Kingdom. She noted that hosting the regional edition of the Bocuse d'Or competition and the Pastry World Cup, alongside the commission's participation in Sirha Lyon, reflects its commitment to enhancing the Kingdom's global status in this field.
Badr also pointed out that this partnership aligns with the commission’s ongoing efforts to develop the culinary arts sector through fruitful collaborations that contribute to improving the culinary scene in the Kingdom, fostering growth in the sector, and benefiting Saudi chefs and local talent.
