King Salman bin Abdulaziz approved a proposal submitted by his Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, on directing government agencies to acquire artistic works and national craft products in their official headquarters.

This came according to what the official Saudi news agency reported, where it stated that the Crown Prince’s proposal emphasized that all government entities “limit the artistic pieces in their headquarters to national artistic works according to a guide prepared by the Ministry of Culture, provided that government agencies provide the Ministry of Culture with the list of acquired works to be added In the National Register of Artwork.”
