Vision
The Sursock Museum is the modern and contemporary art institution of Beirut and Lebanon, and its main public platform for debate, critical thinking, learning and unlearning. It aims to be the main caretaker of the collective memory of the city of Beirut in its multiple identities and complexities at the heart of Lebanon and the region.

Mission
To achieve its vision, the Sursock Museum shall host a diverse interdisciplinary program of performances, exhibitions, talks and screenings of local, regional, and international creative thinkers. Through residencies and open access to its extensive archives and spaces, it will incubate new publications and research, cultural projects, and experimentations in new media. The Museum will develop a learning program accessible to a wide audience through debates, internships, mediators, workshops, and fellowships in partnerships with local and international schools, universities, and scientific institutions. To increase its relevance and outreach to the widest audience possible of citizens, residents, and visitors of all ages, the Museum will remain free of charge, trilingual, and its collection will travel to other cities in Lebanon.

The Museum will aim to:

– organize two large and three medium-sized exhibitions per year

– digitize and give online access to its archives and collection

– invite two resident artists and historians per year
