Art from Lebanon is a tribute to our country. The project consists in both an exhibition and a book that document lives and significant works of 60 selected Lebanese artists, active starting 1880 to 1975.
Initiated by Nour Salamé Abillama, Art from Lebanon is a journey through Lebanon’s history and heritage. It unveils to the public Lebanon’s many political, social, and cultural vicissitudes, but also the constructive changes and evolutions, that marked and shaped the country as we know it today.
In the currentabsence of a national museum of Modern art, the Beirut Exhibition Center is proud to present Art from Lebanon, an exhibition fulfilling a mission of civil and national duty, giving access to treasures of private and public collections, many of which were never shown before.
