The first museum in the world dedicated to the history of oil, from its crude state to its commercial exploitation.

Since its discovery in the 1850s, oil has been the most hotly debated commodity in the world due to its technical implications, economic significance and role in shaping political entities. The inaugural catalog for Riyadh's Black Gold Museum tells the story of this controversial substance through contemporary visual art.

Majid Al-Moneef, Khalid Al-Ramadan, Gabriel Bauret, Laura Hindelang, Brian Jacobson, Christian Janicot, Jack Persekian, Philippe Pétriat, & Axel Pierru
