Nicolas Sursock Museum

It has bee a while since my last visit to Sursock museum. While the villa hasn’t lost its charm I feel that more things could be done there and more art should be exhibited. We also visited the temporary exhibition on Arab Divas which was very informative

Based in a beautiful villa, this notable cultural venue / the museum of modern art is definitely worth of visiting! It was founded by Lebanese art collector Nicolas Sursock - today the librarian kindly told me a brief story of philantropist's life and his legacy. At the moment there are two different exhibitions, which aren't big, but very contented. Highly recommend to come & see. Donation at the entrance. Cafe in the yard is especially busy.

I wish more people could visit this amazing museum; there's always something new. New pieces of history, hidden artists, hidden gems. The entrance is free but you can always offer donations (which I hope everyone does,let's help our museums promote the beauty of Lebanon and its history🙏🏼❤)

The Nicholas Sirsouk Museum itself is a masterpiece, with its unique architecture and thoughtfully curated exhibitions. However, I found the enthusiasm of the staff lacking when it came to explaining the art pieces and displays. Their knowledge seemed minimal, even regarding the history of the museum itself. It would greatly benefit from having audio explanations for the art pieces, as the descriptions were often small and visitors were not allowed to get close to the pieces. Furthermore, some staff members appeared disinterested and were not as welcoming as expected. Despite these shortcomings, the museum is definitely worth a visit for its stunning architecture and well-curated exhibitions. I just wished for more informative and engaging interactions with the staff.

Already renovated at least 2 times, The Palace still conserving its identity and the legacy of this place. It is a free entrance museum. Sursock Museum is a cultural place which should be visited. It consists of 5 floors: one floor is a library where you can find nice books specially in history and photography. Another floor has a collection which does not change and the rest 3 floors are a rotation of different artwork and galleries.

If you love art, you should visit this place! It has a beautiful art collection and a floor with a traditional Arab sitting room and old photos of Beirut. I’m really impressed by it! There’s no entrance fee, but you can donate if you like. It’s definitely worth seeing.

Beautiful experience, very well maintained and elegant. A must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic cultural experience in Beirut!

Beautiful building and museum. Unfortunately it was partly destroyed in 2020 by explosion, but now you can still visit it. Free entrance but with donation option. I loved to feel the atmosphere of the building which started to be a museum after death of the landowner. Music was wonderful too! Thank you for opportunity to visit it! We saw 3 weddings with photographers and sweet sleeping cat :) You can find souvenir shop and nice cafe on the territory
