Welcome to the Saudi Aramco Exhibit Center.
Saudi Aramco Exhibit Center
DHAHRAN, SAUDI ARABIA
In 1999, Saudi Arabia’s first major science museum received a total re-design. New exhibition experiences include a series of immersive environments that take visitors on a journey from petroleum’s origins in ancient seas, through underground rock formations and desert drilling operations, into refineries and marine shipping terminals. As part of design development, West Office created a virtual computer fly-through of the museum.
