The Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture / Raed Abillama Architects

The Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture, an extension to the National Museum of Beirut, is a space dedicated to creative artistry, the dialogue between art and culture, as well as the importance of remembrance. Its mission is to celebrate and disseminate Lebanon's cultural wealth through innovative programs, bold exhibitions, and strong community involvement. The project was made possible thanks to the National Heritage Foundation. Since the end of the Civil War, this foundation has been integral to the renovation and preservation of the National Museum. This deep connection with the museum enabled the foundation to design the pavilion project in partnership with the Es-Said family.
