Dubai, UAE- Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai, which is the first non-government art institution in the Gulf, is home to contemporary art exhibitions.

The architecture of the institution, which is designed by United Kingdom-based Serie Architects, comprises a multifunctional approach, allowing for maximum curatorial flexibility for exhibitions. 

The three floors of gallery and screening spaces of the institution are designed to accommodate a variety of exhibition settings, including both small- and large-scale works.

In addition to indoor exhibitions, Jameel also showcases sculpture installations outdoors.
