Because Beirut Matters
As the year comes to an end, we are pleased to offer you,thanks to the support of the Swiss Embassy in Lebanon,a map of Beirut listing the cultural places, so numerousand so active!
The “Beirut Cultural Map” is a tribute to our battered butproud capital and its wounded but courageousinhabitants.
Lebanese culture is a melting pot of different culturesunder which the fire does not go out. Whatever thecircumstances, there are always artists to discover, music to listen to, poems to declaim and actors to follow!
The 150 events listed for the month of December demonstrate the creativity and vitality of thecultural sector as well as the dynamics of professionals in this field. High quality initiatives are again jostling each other showing the will of the organizers and the public to preserve and defend our Levantine, oriental and open to all cultures art of living.
Cultural places throughout Lebanon are not to be outdone. A QR code on the map will direct youto these places.
With more than 116 venues in Beirut this map offers you the best to escape through art and culture.So, get your calendars! Stroll through galleries and libraries, go out, immerse yourself in words andcolors, sounds and images. Let your daily life be enriched by culture, even if only for a few hours a week .
We would like to thank once again the Swiss ambassador, H.E. Mrs. Marion Weichelt as well as MajaMessmer Mokhtar and Alia Chucri for their support, their confidence and their enthusiasm.
