About
Housed in a lavish 1912 white mansion that blends Venetian and Ottoman styles, the Nicolas Sursock Museum is Beirut's home for modern and contemporary Lebanese art. Reopened after a painstaking restoration following the 2020 port blast, it shows rotating exhibitions across bright galleries lit by stained glass. Admission is free, making it one of the city's most rewarding cultural stops.
