Red Sea Museum Hosts Contemporary Art Exhibition to Showcase Marine Biodiversity

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. Through a series of sculptures and installations, the exhibition showcases the region’s vast biodiversity, from microorganisms to large mammals, SPA reported. 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.
