ABOUT


 

BASMOCA’s vision is to create a virtual private museum, representing the reality of Basma Al Sulaiman’s private collection, to which everyone around the world has access from anywhere, at any time.

Alongside the permanent collection of contemporary artworks that Basma has carefully gathered over the past decades, BASMOCA promotes as well young, emerging artists from Saudi and the Middle East.

BASMOCA is a global forum in which a unique crossover from East to West can take place, a virtual, yet very real, BASMOCA’s mission is to break down these barriers, allow people to explore different art and cultures, discover new artists and ideas, whilst experiencing a real collection in an interactive way.

Letter from Basma


Letter from Basma


Welcome to my museum, carved out of a dream.

I have always been an art-lover and incidentally, have been a natural collector since childhood.

After building a small collection of artworks, I quickly realised that I wanted everyone to have a chance to be exposed to art, and learn from it, as I had. However, I did not know how to overcome the geographical and cultural barriers that stood in the way. I was deeply invested in the idea of bringing people together in an inclusive arts arena, so I kept looking at the ways I could provide a such a destination for people to view contemporary art.

Fortunately, we live in a time when modern technology can make even the most far-fetched ideas a reality. 

With that being said, I am very pleased to present BASMOCA, the first museum of its kind.

BASMOCA is a virtual, immersive experience where users can view my actual contemporary art collection. The experience is akin to walking through a real museum, as visitors can interact with one another while studying the artworks. You can close in on a piece to examine it more carefully, or step back to take it in as a whole. Moreover, you can explore BASMOCA in the knowledge that everything you see exists in real life, as part of an ever-growing collection.

Welcome to my world; I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
