Exhibition and residency dome

The Dome

A spheroid structure for artists in residence

Under constructionas of Sep 2026

Under construction as part of the Royal Arts Complex; not open.

The Foundation's English release describes The Dome as a spheroid structure for artists in residence. The Arabic release speaks of a grand hall for artists' work, and the Royal Commission calls it an exhibition dome. We treat these as one venue.
