By: Salma Yassin

The National Museum of Saudi Arabia announced a pack of events in March including interviews, seminars and workshops in partnership with The French luxury jewelry brand Van Cleef & Arpels and the Royal Polytechnic Institution.

Seminars aim at discussing topics like “time in poems and science” to discover secrets of many-worlds, “the kingdom’s natural beauty: treasures and adventures” to highlight the nature’s effect on the kingdom’s artistic side.

“Flora in jewelry arts” is another seminar displaying “flora” book published by Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris in cooperation with L’ÉCOLE School of jewelry arts to reveal secrets of jewelry dating back to the 17th century and other eras.

Also, museum visitors can enjoy stories of love inspired from the most famous stories across history like “Qays and Layla”, “Antar and Abla”.

Workshops are mainly about woodcarving using traditional inscriptions, where participants are taken in tours observing types of inscriptions inside the museum.

For kids, the National Museum of Saudi Arabia organizes two workshops; one about guidelines of making jewelry by taking inspiration from the surrounded mosaic, rhinestones, and the other one is about exploring ways to design watches on real wood surfaces.

It’s notable that The French luxury jewelry brand Van Cleef & Arpels is holding an exhibition in Riyadh featuring creations previously owned by Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Egypt’s Queen Nazli and Princess Fawzia.

The “Van Cleef & Arpels: Time, Nature, Love” exhibition, hosted at the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, opened its doors to the public on Jan. 19 and will run till April 19.
