نبذة عن Sursock Museum
The Nicolas Sursock Museum is Beirut’s landmark museum of modern and contemporary art, located in the Achrafieh district in a distinctive early-twentieth-century villa. Bequeathed to the city by Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock, the museum opened to the public decades ago and has become a central institution for exhibiting Lebanese and international art.
The museum’s architecture blends Venetian and Ottoman influences, making the building itself one of Beirut’s most recognizable cultural sites. It presents a permanent collection alongside temporary exhibitions, and it underwent major restoration after suffering damage in the 2020 Beirut port explosion, reopening as a symbol of the city’s recovery.
