This is one of the rare art museums in the city of Beirut. It features temporary exhibits and has a permanent collection that focuses on the work of Lebanese artists. Another attraction is the building of the museum. Visitors are frequently fascinated by its architecture and design. A recent renovation makes it just as worthy of a visit as the featured art. Highly recommended.

A gem in the heart of Sursock, Beirut. I have been here 3 times and will come back. The size makes it good for a one or two hour browse. Then the cafe and small shop are well worth a stop. The date cake is a real treat :)

Small, well-kept museum. Lovely outdoor cafe available to the left when you enter the museum grounds. Beautiful for a coffee or glass of wine. The museum is donation based and there’s no entry fee. The entire place can be toured in under an hour if you’re quick. Not sure how often things change there, but it seems to be an active museum. Guards/stafd inside weren’t too observant (busy playing on their phones) or intrusive at all.

There is not doubt that the museum building is iconic and it is my favorite part of the museum. The little that remains of the former garden is interesting. I am not sure how the building looked from the inside before it was transformed into a museum, but it seems to have lost much of its charm. The permanent collection features some beautiful artwork by mostly Lebanese painters. The level 1 of the museum showcases the former glory of the interior.

Nicolas Sursock Museum is a modern art museum full of beautiful history of an amazing time amd period in Beirut the early 1900s.
The rich Sursock family amazing created the different palaces in the area to show case there beauty.
It is one recommended to visit and see the period architectural beauty and of course the contemporary art museum.

Beautiful architecture and paintings from mostly Lebanese artists tracing the cultural mouvements of the 20 century in the region. Nice restaurant and gift shop with Lebanese designer items.

The Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock Museum is housed in Nicolas Sursock’s former residence, built in 1912. The Museum’s architecture integrates Venetian and Ottoman elements that were typical in Lebanon at the turn of the century. The Salon Arabe, where Sursock greeted his guests, remains intact. The hand-carved woodwork that makes up its walls and ceiling was imported from Damascus in the 1920s. Some of the mansion’s original tiles are still visible on the first floor of the Museum. In 1999, the building was classified as a class A historical building by the Directorate General of Antiquities.

A must visit museum if in Beirut. The building itself is worth the trip and the art is just as good. There is a small cafe that is great once you are done with the visit.

The building is very well maintained. But it's a small museum. If you're just browsing around, 1 hour is enough to plan your visit.

Sursock Museum should be visited; it makes Lebanese proud to have a museum space that is of international standards. As for the restaurant, it is what you expect a restaurant at a museum to be like; with a creative menu and placemat. The homemade potato chips provided as a side in our dishes were really good, actually they were much better than the beef in the sandwich. Let’s just say that I am more a fan of the museum itself than its resto.

If you are wandering in beirut, make sure to visit this museum since it is very beautiful inside and outside, and it always has exhibitions of different topics usually for a free entrance.

The building is beautiful! Especially at night! The artwork inside is nice but I found the architecture to be the most spectacular part.

A real gem in the heart of Beirut. The Palace was built in the 19th century and hosts some of the most interesting exhibitions in town, plus a marvellous permanent collection.

Also, the shop has a great selection of local designers and artisans' works, and the bar on the esplanade offers a fantastic atmosphere.

Museum has a variety of works which are really worth checking out. Really helpful reception to advise on the best way to tour the museum. Nice cafe outside too, but staff were a little unfriendly when they found out I was only after a take away fresh orange juice.

Very nice museum with a surprisingly good restaurant in the courtyard. A bit pricey but all in all worth it given the scenic surroundings

A newly renovated building which is already a unique architectural building in Beirut, the renovation have added a special interior environment adding to the richness of the museum. They have an amazing cafe on the ground floor where you can enjoy a meal or a coffee in a very nice ambience.

I hail our Municipality for the great work done on uplifting this gem donated to the Beiruti's, nay the Lebanese, by a TRUE CITIZEN (مواطن صالح) of this city. The new look is super, the activity in the Gallery (-2) is very valuable encouraging new talents who are plentiful.and the exhibition in upper floors is invaluable. [Note the portrait of Unsi by Gemayel]Though the exhibition lacks in Farroukhs

ALL POSITIVE REMARKS AND THANKS
