Jameel Art Centre

One of the first contemporary arts institutions in Dubai, Jameel Arts Centre presents curated solo and group exhibitions, drawn from the Art Jameel Collection and regional and international collaborations. The impressive 10,000-square metre, three-storey building is surrounded by seven gardens, designed by landscape architect Anouk Vogel to reflect local and global desert biomes.

Located by the Dubai Creek in Jaddaf Waterfront, the centre’s galleries are complemented by the Jameel Library, an open-access research area dedicated to artists and cultural movements in the Gulf states and beyond. The centre also includes project and commission spaces, a writers' studio, restaurant, and shop. A hub for educational and research initiatives for diverse audiences, the Jameel Arts Centre is an unmissable visit for your Dubai bucket list.
