the national museum of saudi arabia

national museum of saudi arabia, riyadh

this is a modern, airy, massive air-conditioned museum, telling the (albeit biased) story of the kingdom of saudi arabia, from pre-human history to the present. the culmination is large scale models of the 2 holiest mosques in islam in mecca and medina. everything was labeled in english which was nice.
