After its remarkable success at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition is set to captivate audiences in Riyadh. From November 21, 2024, to April 2, 2025, as part of Riyadh Season 2024, this iconic retrospective will grace the Saudi National Museum, celebrating over 75 years of bold creativity inspired by Christian Dior’s pioneering vision.
Curated by Florence Müller and designed by scenographer Nathalie Crinière, the exhibition offers an extraordinary journey through time. Visitors are invited to explore Dior’s artistic codes, from the first haute couture collection in 1947 to the contributions of artistic directors who succeeded him. Iconic pieces, such as the timeless Lady Dior bag and exquisite creations inspired by Versailles, take center stage, reflecting Dior’s enduring legacy.
Adding a special Saudi touch, the exhibit highlights Al-‘Ula Oasis—a natural treasure in Medina province—through enchanting gowns mirroring the sun-kissed desert’s hypnotic hues. This connection between Dior and the beauty of Saudi Arabia elevates the experience into a cultural celebration.
Concluding this immersive journey, Café Dior offers a unique space to savor refined flavors, blending culinary delights with the sophistication of Dior’s world.
