The Kuwait National Cultural District (also known as the KNCD) is multibillion-dollar development project that focuses on the arts and culture in Kuwait.[1][2] With a capital cost of more than US$1 billion, the project is one of the largest cultural investments in the world today.[1] The Kuwait National Cultural District is a member of the Global Cultural Districts Network.[3]
The District has three cultural clusters:
Western shores: Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre and Al Salam Palace
Eastern shores: Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Centre
Edge of the City Centre: Al Shaheed Park Museums: Habitat Museum and Remembrance Museum[2]
The Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre is the largest cultural center and opera house in the Middle East.[4][5] The Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Centre is a 13-hectare (32-acre) site with a total exhibit area of 22,000 m2, making it the world's largest museum project.[6][7] Al Shaheed Park is the largest green roof project ever undertaken in the Arab world.[8] The new cultural district is an essential part of Kuwait Vision 2035.
