Impressions Of Paradise

June 20 – February 15, 2026 | Tue–Sun, 10:00–17:00

“Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until February 16, 2026.”

The Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture presents Impressions of Paradise, curated by Nour Osseiran, with a catalogue by historian Marie Tomb.

This exhibition explores modern Lebanon’s image through rare travel and film posters from the Philippe Jabre Art Collection (1920s–1970s), showing how visual culture helped shape national identity—locally and abroad.

Alongside these nostalgic visions of cedar forests, Roman ruins, and golden beaches, four contemporary Lebanese artists reflect critically on the myths of mid-century Lebanon through themes of memory, rupture, and change.
