The Sursock Museum occupies a lavish early-20th-century villa in the Achrafieh district of Beirut, blending Venetian and Ottoman styles behind an ornate white façade. Bequeathed to the city by Nicolas Sursock, it opened in 1961 as a museum of modern and contemporary Lebanese art. The collection spans painting, sculpture, and Islamic decorative arts. Heavily damaged by the 2020 port explosion, the building was carefully restored and reopened, and it remains a leading cultural institution and a landmark of the neighbourhood.
