Greenbox Museum is a collection open to the public in the centre of Amsterdam. The museum is the size of a cabinet of curiosities and has similar modest aims: to discuss, learn and enjoy. The museum collects and exhibits only work by artists living and working in Saudi Arabia.

Please enjoy the website and the many entries in the dictionary of Saudi Arabian artists. When staying in Amsterdam, remember to visit us on your way to, or from, the Van Gogh Museum.

'Everything means itself, its opposite, and a camel.' So they say in Arabia and travel perhaps from there to here and home again.
