An unusual children's interactive museum opened in Riyadh recently. Its modern design was conceived by the architect as the embodiment of a treehouse. Houses of different styles are located in different halls of the museum. Children will be able to climb into each of them and touch everything there. The exterior walls of the museum are covered with mosaics that glow from the inside in the evenings. Children can not only learn to explore the world in the form of a game but also experience exciting adventures here. Children will also be interested in the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra). It was opened in 2017. The center is built in a modern style. It combines architectural concepts of the past and future. In addition to the children's museum, there is a cinema, library, and Tower of Knowledge in the center. The Mishkat Interactive Science Center will appeal to future young scientists. In addition to interesting scientific exhibitions, there are special training programs for children in the center. All programs and projects are focused on the theme of energy. The main idea is to explain to children why energy is so important. Children will also learn about the need to search for alternative sources of information. There are special family days, training, programs for students, and courses for schoolchildren.
