The Khuzam Palace is a major palace and museum in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The building
The Museum is in the historic Khuzam Palace in the Al-Nuzlah al-Yamaniyah quarter in the south of Jeddah. The building was constructed as a royal palace from 1928 to 1932 under the supervision of Muhammed bin Laden.[citation needed]
Dar Al-Arkan Real Estate (DAAR) [1] have been commissioned to develop the area on 11 October 2008 by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques (the Royal Court).[citation needed]
The exhibitions
The collection ranges from artefacts of the Stone Age attributed to the Acheulean period found in nearby Wadi Fatimah over items of several pre-Islamic cultures and items illustrating the rise of Islam to relicts from the time the palace was used by the royal family. A second collection holds ethnographic items portraying the recent culture of the region.[citation needed]
