Beirut Golden Sixties Aref El Rayess

March 17 Beirut And The Golden Sixties

Location: Mathaf

The exhibition revisits a turbulent chapter in the development of modernism in Beirut beginning with the 1958 Lebanon crisis and ending with the 1975 outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War. It examines this romanticised era of global influence in Beirut to highlight how collisions between art, culture and polarised political ideologies turned the Beirut art scene into a microcosm for larger trans-regional tensions.

March 17 Guided tour in the palace of Abdullah bin Jasim

Location: National Museum of Qatar

Commonly known as the Old Palace, this architectural gem from the early twentieth century is today embraced by the modern National Museum of Qatar. The contrast between old and new – or, in other words, between heritage and modernity – is by no means coincidental: the French architect Jean Nouvel designed the museum incorporating the palace as if it was one of the objects on display.
