The story

Beiteddine Palace Exhibitions in Beiteddine

The Beiteddine Art Festival runs a parallel exhibitions strand inside Beiteddine Palace's historic halls and former stables, alongside its concerts and dance program. Recent editions featured shows such as Unfolding Landscapes and Nothing but Flowers, curated by Saleh Barakat, plus an itinerant Beirut Museum of Art exhibition in the former stables, layered on top of the palace's permanent mosaic collection.

Alongside its concert and dance programming, the Beiteddine Art Festival stages a parallel strand of visual art exhibitions inside the palace's historic halls and former stables, turning the nineteenth-century residence built by Emir Bashir Shihab II into a temporary gallery for the length of the summer season.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The exhibition strand gives visitors a way to experience the festival without buying a concert ticket, since the palace halls and former stables are generally open during the day throughout the festival period

02

The mystery stays covered

Curators rotate each year, recent editions have paired an institutional partner, the Beirut Museum of Art, with independent Lebanese gallerists, and themes have ranged from landscape painting to floral-themed collections

03

The city starts moving

Because the venue also holds a permanent Byzantine mosaic display, festival-goers effectively see two layers of art in one visit, one fixed and historical, one temporary and contemporary
