Sursock Museum, Art museum in Rmeil district, Beirut, Lebanon.
The Sursock Museum occupies a Renaissance Revival villa with white stone facades, ornate balconies, and stained glass windows across four floors.
Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock, a Lebanese aristocrat, constructed this private villa in 1912 and bequeathed it as a museum upon his death in 1952.
The permanent collection contains over 800 artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and graphic arts from the 19th and 20th centuries by Lebanese artists.
The museum expanded to 8,500 square meters with four underground floors containing exhibition spaces, a research library, an auditorium, and restoration workshops.
Following the 2020 Beirut port explosion, the museum underwent extensive repairs and reopened in 2023 with support from international donors.
