What each source says
- What it measures
- Foundation Arabic release and Royal Commission / Saudipedia text; says 'up to'

Why the figures differ
The Foundation's Royal Arts Complex page gives 106 m for the pyramid-like museum building. A 2022 announcement carried by SPA and the Saudi Museums Commission coverage in 2024 give about 110 m. A few metres can come from where the top of the building is measured, for example the roof, the pinnacle or the design height, but we cannot say which applies here, and the building is not finished.
What we show
Both heights, each with its source and date: 106 m from the Foundation page and about 110 m from the 2022 announcement and 2024 coverage. We do not pick one silently.
What would resolve it
As-built dimensions from Bofill, the Foundation or the Museums Commission once the structure is complete, with the measuring point stated.
