RIYADH: The Victoria and Albert Museum, one of the world's top museums, in London has named Saudi professor Ghadah Al-Harthi as its ambassador of young patrons.

Al-Harthi is a UK-based academic who has positions as associate professor at Central Saint Martins, consultant at Barker Langham, a cultural consultancy in London, and adviser at the global think tank Chatham House.

"I am happy to be chosen as an ambassador by this prestigious museum that has a significant influence on the international cultural scene," she remarked after being appointed.

"My efforts will be focused on education and innovation to ensure the youth's participation in cultural influence," she continued.

"I will be able to assist the senior management of the museum in creating international cultural communication strategies and expanding cultural and artistic endeavors throughout the Middle East and Europe thanks to my academic background and consulting experience in innovation and culture with British universities and businesses."

The Young Patrons Group is a significant and productive group that helps the museum accomplish its objectives. Leading benefactors and supporters of worldwide arts and culture are among them.

Established as a public institution in 1852, the Victoria and Albert Museum is the greatest museum of ornamental and applied arts worldwide. It is supported by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport of the UK government.

It has a collection of 4.5 million unique objects, 20,000 of which are among the most significant Islamic objects in the Middle East. Every year, the museum welcomes at least two million visitors.
