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.

The Saudi Literature, Publishing, and Translation Commission organized a seminar titled "The Role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Teaching Arabic in Korea" at the Seoul International Book Fair 2024, where the Kingdom was the guest of honor.

Cultural attaché at the Saudi embassy, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al-Dayel attended the event.

Al-Dayel highlighted the history of the Arabic language and the great attention the Kingdom pays to serving this language.

He noted that Arabic is one of the Semitic languages and was divided into several languages until the Holy Quran was revealed in classical Arabic. This language was spoken by the tribes of Quraysh, Tamim, Hawazin, and Azd, thus ending linguistic differences in the Arabian Peninsula.

Saudi Arabia has shown immense interest in the Arabic language, as evidenced by Article 1 of the Basic Law of Governance, which identifies the Kingdom as an Arab Islamic state, he continued.

He stressed that the Kingdom had played a prominent and significant role in recognizing Arabic as a global language at the UN, making it one of the six official languages globally. This led to celebrating the UN Arabic Language Day, held annually on December 18.
