According to Reuters, Kuwait City's new Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Center caught fire yesterday, February 6. The venue, which was set to host a production of CATS this winter, opened to the public just months ago and cost over $700 million to complete. No casualties have been reported.
Under the auspices of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and with the Emir in attendance, the inauguration ceremony of the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Centre was held on October 31st, 2016.
Named after Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the architectural marvel was designed to resemble jewels, reflecting rays of sunlights.
