Dar El-Nimer for Arts and Culture

This is a good place to get art vibes. Today I went to the exhibition of the only photographer that accompanied Yasser Arafat on his second trip out of Palestine and a Irish photographer who joined his collection. It was meaningful and touching. The gallery was impeccable from the beginning to end.

A very simplistic style renovation of an old mixed use building. On the outside you are directly attracted by the unique stone patterns on its cores and shiny white plaster. On the inside, the space is very contemporary, with the main exhibition on the ground floor and a few other smaller exhibitions on the top floors along with a small lecture/ presentation room. For artists and designers, a very cool place to exhibit your work and the staff there are very professional and friendly, make sure to take an appointment though before meeting them.

I attended dar el nemer for an exhibition about the Lebanese Civil war, awesome space to exhibit.

Attended the blue inmates; the film sheds the light on inmates suffering from mental illness and facing a life sentence in prison. The Lebanese penal code states that “Insane”, “Mad” & “Possessed” offenders should be incarcerated until evidence of “being cured” (whereas “mental illness” can be managed with proper treatment and not “cured” and in Lebanese prisons psychological and medical care for these inmates are absent). The Dar is well maintained and managed!

A beautiful space dedicated to very nice cultural exhibitions. Make sure to check out their exhibits.

Very interesting cultural centre in Beirut

Nice place for art and exhibition

A hidden cultural gem in the heart of the vibrant Hamra. Inspiring place, calm ambiance, beautiful interior, cozy garden, and very special and interesting collection of handmade crafts, notebooks, scarfs, paintings and others.
