A collaborative process

The Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre is a diverse heritage hub which invites the public to explore some of Kuwaiti, Islamic and Arab history’s finest achievements, as well as the scientific and cultural feats of countries across the world. The building of this incredible new hub was a complex and collaborative process, with a network of global experts contributing to its success. We acted as client representative to oversee and quality check the delivery of content and design across the project.

Bespoke graphics

It was the biggest cultural project in the world at the time of its construction, with 22 galleries across four museums. This prestigious, ground-breaking project required an extraordinary range of different graphics, including hundreds of bespoke items using 175 different techniques. We were also appointed to produce these - all in just four months.
