RIYADH — The Museums Commission is set to organize a notable event, the "International Conference on Education and Innovation in Museums," scheduled for June 3 in Riyadh. This conference aims to gather a cadre of leading experts to discuss and disseminate emerging trends and advancements in the museum sector globally. Set against the backdrop of Riyadh's vibrant cultural scene, the conference will address how museums can utilize modern technologies such as virtual and augmented reality to transform visitor experiences.

In addition to educational sessions, the conference will offer an integrated experiential journey through the realms of creativity and innovation in museums. This hands-on approach will allow attendees to directly engage with and learn from the latest technological applications in the field.
