Au Del à Du Temps, which means beyond time in English, brings together Marianne’s artwork. The exhibition has been created in partnership with Ambassade De France En Arabie Saoudite (aka the French Embassy in Saudi Arabia), Alliance Française, Francophonie Festsival and L’Art Pur Foundation.

L’Art Pur Gallery is one of the largest galleries in Saudi Arabia, spanning 540 square metres. Created in 1999, the venue feels like a cross between a gallery and a museum. The gallery prides itself on supporting young, local artists, and provides them with a space to exhibit work. Plus, it has hosted exhibitions from famous Saudi Arabian as well as international artists.

Taking place in Al Kindi Plaza, Diplomatic Quarter, it’s a rare chance to visit one place and eat your way around Europe.
