A national door

This was one of the doors to the King Abdulaziz Foundation building. I thought it was quite attractive how they used the Saudi national flag at the entry point, although not sure how one gets in with the flag blocking the way. Maybe it's decoration only, and in fact it was more like a box than a flag hanging. I see we're in the picture too. I'm the one in black ;-).

I think this will be the end of this gallery for the time being, until we go back to the museum to see more -- and there is definitely more to see. We just need to time it better next time in between prayer times.
